Before 1997, most of the research publications for Picard and her research assistants focused on image and video analysis, texture models, computer vision, pattern analysis, signal processing, and content-based retrieval, without deliberate consideration of affective information.These earlier publications can be found on the   Old Vision & Modeling Group Tech Reports list (scroll down for original "classic" work).
