  • Exploration of sensor fusion techniques for combined emotion measurement.

    • Main Results:

    • Existing systems often rely on single-measurements (e.g., facial features, physiological functions) which are insufficient.
    • A single measurement cannot accurately reflect the complex emotional changes in farm animals.
    • Compound expression recognition measurement is necessary for accurate assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Sensor-based approaches offer promising avenues for monitoring farm animal emotions.
    • Sensor fusion is proposed as a novel method to combine technologies for efficient emotion monitoring.
    • Future research should address challenges and opportunities in developing comprehensive animal emotion monitoring systems.
