Analysis of behaviors by participants in brainstorming

Abstract

In brainstorming, participants have to keep some important rules; (i) do not deny any proposals, (ii) do propose more proposals. Therefore, the evaluation by the participant for proposals can be represented by the non-verbal behaviors by participants. In this report, we propose image processing methods for the detection of non-verbal behaviors by participants. Moreover, we propose an evaluation method for the activity of the brainstorming. Finally, we discuss the relationship between the proposed activity and the review result by the participant.
