Abstract

Stress has become a major problem that people face today. The high level of competition and environmental demands make people more susceptible to stress. Stress can interfere with a person's ability to work effectively. If left unchecked for a long time, stress can cause various dangerous diseases such as hypertension, heart problems, and others that can lead to death. Research has been conducted for a long time to detect stress. Various technologies have been used to detect and anticipate stress that occurs in humans. One promising technology for detecting stress is the use of thermal cameras. Thermal cameras have several advantages: being non-contact and non-invasive, quick, easy to use, and cost-effective. In general, the architecture of the stress detection system using a thermal camera consists of several stages, including image acquisition, pre-processing, ROI tracking and selection, feature extraction, and statistical analysis or classification. This paper aims to review the use of thermal cameras in detecting stress in humans. This paper also seeks to answer the research question of what analysis can be done to improve stress detection accuracy using thermal camera images. Research shows that ROI selection must be carefully considered to obtain good accuracy. Combining thermal images with other data can improve accuracy in stress detection. Machine learning in classification provides many benefits in recognizing patterns but is highly influenced by the number of datasets used.
