DeepSmile: Anomaly Detection Software for Facial Movement Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Facial movements are crucial for human interaction because they provide relevant information on verbal and non-verbal communication and social interactions. From a clinical point of view, the analysis of facial movements is important for diagnosis, follow-up, drug therapy, and surgical treatment. Current methods of assessing facial palsy are either (i) objective but inaccurate, (ii) subjective and, thus, depending on the clinician's level of experience, or (iii) based on static data. To address the aforementioned problems, we implemented a deep learning algorithm to assess facial movements during smiling. Such a model was trained on a dataset that contains healthy smiles only following an anomaly detection strategy. Generally speaking, the degree of anomaly is computed by comparing the mod
