Computer vision-based study to identify the role of facial emotions in autism detection

Abstract

This report investigates the role of facial emotions in autism detection using computer vision techniques. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder characterised by difficulties faced in social interaction, communication, and with repetitive behaviours. Early detection and a subsequent proper response can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with autism. In this study, we explore the effectiveness of computer vision algorithms in identifying facial emotion displayed as a potential tool for autism detection.
