KIDO: Emotion Analysis of Children’s Drawings
About

KIDO is a novel dataset for analyzing how children express emotions through hand-drawn images and self-reported reflections.
It contains 5,430 children’s drawings, each paired with text indicating whether the drawing represents happiness or sadness.

Unlike prior datasets that focus only on digital drawings from tablets, KIDO captures natural scanned hand-drawn expressions.
