ADOS- Using computer vision tools to research behavioral aspects of autism:

In this research computer vision tools and machine learning to research behavioral aspects of autism focusing on teenagers and adults. The data was collected during the research based on five biological signs that include: facial expression, gaze, body posture, hand gestures and voice analysis.
The use of multiple biological signs was driven from the inconclusive and inconsistent results that was found in previous research, as well as the clinical need to get the autism diagnosis more reliability.
This project is an international collaboration and relays on the unique expertise of the team.
