Automation Analysis System of Child's Development Test and Multi-Viewpoints Input Method

Abstract

This study presents a simple method for examining a child's development by automatically analyzing the child's reactions while feedback images are displayed for 2 min. This computer analysis recognizes some features of an image of the child's reactions. This system can perform that analysis in a shorter time than conventional methods, as typified by the Enjoji-method. Moreover, evaluation results of our system verify its validity compared to conventional methods. This system is applicable to achieve automatic analyses through a network to thereby realize telemedicine as part of a Multimedia Communication System.
