This study mapped different facial expressions in 150 subjects between 7 and 80 years of age of different ethnicities.
The purpose is to use them in various computer applications: facial image manipulation, face component transfer, real-time performance-based facial image animation, and facial animation retargeting from video to image.
This work aims at testing a cost-effective markerless approach for assessing kinematic parameters of hypokinetic dysarthria.
The results showed that Parkinsonian patients exhibit reduced peak velocity of the lower lip, during both the opening and the closing phase of the mouth. In addition, peak values of acceleration are reduced in Parkinsonian patients, although with significant differences only in the opening phase compared to healthy control subjects.
A comprehensive automated system to quantify and grade facial paralysis: resting symmetry assessment is grading the asymmetry of different regions of the face without any voluntary movement. The objective is to quantify the asymmetry between the left and right sides of the face for patients with facial paralysis as well as for normal controls.
Create a grading system for facial paralysis. The system is easy to use, of low cost, automated, and fast and is thus well suited for clinical use.
