The paper proposes a framework for Emotion Recognition from images using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and combines CAM-based techniques with Object Detection at the corpus level to improve explainability. The model, EmoNet, is specifically designed for Image Classification, Object Recognition, and Image Segmentation tasks. By analyzing the image cues that EmoNet relies on to assign emotions, the paper demonstrates that the model focuses primarily on human characteristics but also shows a pronounced effect of specific image modifications.

The researchers developed a new approach to understand how Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) recognize emotions in images. They used a special type of CNN called EmoNet and looked at what parts of an image it uses to determine the emotion. The results show that EmoNet mainly looks at human features, but also responds differently to certain changes in the image.
