Systems and methods for emotion and perception based video compression and video perception enhancement

A computer-implemented system and associated methods are disclosed including a processor and a camera. The processor is adapted to map emotional responses to video characteristics in view of reaction data as captured from the camera as the camera records being displayed a plurality of video data streams and also records the user response in view of modifications to the plurality of data streams. The map is implemented by the processor to generate revised or altered versions of the underlying video data streams for predetermined applications. Portions of the revised versions of the plurality of video data streams determined by the map to trigger an emotional response may be reduced, minimized, compressed, enhanced, altered, or otherwise modified in view of the corresponding emotional response as desired.
