Infant Motion Analysis Using Video Images

Research Overview

Construction of AI image analysis systems supporting developmental assessment

We are developing automatic evaluation systems using video image analysis technology to objectively evaluate infant motor development. This system aims to support specialist diagnosis and provide opportunities for early intervention. Research approach: - Markerless measurement using RGB cameras - Automation of General Movements assessment - Quantification of developmental indicators according to age We are advancing this in collaboration with Prefectural University of Hiroshima and Nagaoka University of Technology.
