Development on diagnosis system for psychiatric disorder by analyzing facial images

摘要

Because of necessity and requirement of quantitative information for diagnosis of psychiatric disorder, we have developed 1.automatic interview system, 2.method for automatic extraction of facial organs, and 3.method for acquisition of the quantitative information for diagnosis, and then we try to acquire the quantitative information for diagnosis by analyzing facial expressions during automatic interview. In this study, we focus on the movement and correlation of movement about pupils and the head, i.e. we develop the method for automatic measurement of time sequential movement with respect to l.the position of pupil in terms of right and left corner of the eye, and 2.direction of frontal face. By calculating the correlation of them, we get the quantitative information by which we have possibility to diagnose a subject whether he or she is psychiatric disorder or not.
