Kansei and Semantic Multimedia DB Systems In the design of multimedia database systems, one of the most important issues is: How to deal with semantics and Kansei of human beings. Copyright© 2009, Yasushi Kiyoki, All Rights Reserved.

Multimedia DB system for Kansei information The concept of Kansei includes several meanings on sensitive recognition, such as: (1)impression (2)emotion (3)human senses (4)feelings (5)sensitivity (6)psychological reaction (7)physiological reaction Copyright© 2009, Yasushi Kiyoki, All Rights Reserved.
