Research in this field may help to uncover universal insights about cross-species bonding, dynamic affect detection, and the influence of environmental factors on dyadic interactions. However, experiments evaluating these outcomes are limited to methodologies that are qualitative, subjective, and cumbersome due to the ergonomic challenges related to attaching sensors to the body. Current approaches in AAIs also face challenges when translating beyond controlled clinical environments or research contexts. These also often neglect the measurements from the animal throughout the interaction. Here, we present our preliminary effort toward a contact-free approach to facilitate AAI assessment via the physiological sensing of humans and canines using consumer-grade cameras. This initial effort focuses on verifying the technological feasibility of remotely sensing the heart rate signal of the human subject and the breathing rate signal of the dog subject while they are interacting. Small amounts of motion such as patting and involuntary body shaking or movement can be tolerated with our custom designed vision-based algorithms. The experimental results show that the physiological measurements obtained by our algorithms were consistent with those provided by the standard reference devices. With further validation and expansion to other physiological parameters, the presented approach offers great promise for many scenarios from the AAI research space to veterinary, surgical, and clinical applications.}, journal={NINTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ANIMAL-COMPUTER INTERACTION, ACI 2022}, author={Holder, Timothy and Rahman, Mushfiqur and Summers, Emily and Roberts, David and Wong, Chau-Wai and Bozkurt, Alper}, year={2022} }
