The recognition of human emotional state is one of the most important components for efficient human-human and human- computer interaction. In this paper, four emotions such as fear, disgust, joy, and neutral was a main problem of classifying emotion recognition and an approach of visual-stimuli for eliciting emotion based on physiological signals of skin conductance (SC), skin temperature (SKT), and blood volume pulse (BVP) was used to design the experiment. In order to reach the goal of solving this problem, half-against-half (HAH) multi-class support vector machine (SVM) with Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) kernel was proposed showing the effective techniques to improve the accuracy rate of emotion classification. The experimental results proved that the proposed was an efficient method for solving the emotion recognition problems with the accuracy rate of 90% of neutral, 86.67% of joy, 85% of disgust, and 80% of fear.
