孤独症谱系障碍儿童情绪表达能力干预系统研制

Development of Emotion Expression Ability Intervention System for the Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

大量研究表明,通过干预孤独症谱系障碍(Autism Spectrum Disorder,ASD)儿童情绪能力,可以提高其移情能力从而改善核心症状--社交交往障碍。随着ASD儿童人数逐年上升,对干预的需求日益增大。目前国内外对于ASD儿童情绪能力的系统干预研究较少,主要研究均集中在表情识别这一层面。本文结合视频分析,自动表情识别算法,Flash技术,设计交互式虚拟场景游戏,研发一个面向ASD儿童的情绪能力干预的系统。该系统可以训练儿童的表情识别能力,还可以训练儿童对表情的模仿和表达,具有实用性,方便推广。

A large number of studies have indicated that intervening the emotion ability of children with autism spectrum disorders （ASD） can improve their ability of empathy and their core symptoms - social handicap. With the increase of the number of ASD children, the need for intervention is increasing. But there are few intervention systems, which mainly focused on emotion recognition. In this paper, the emotion ability intervention system for ASD children is developed with video analysis, automatic facial expression recognition, Flash and interactive virtual scene game. It can not only train children＇s ability to recognize facial expressions, but also can train children＇s ability to express them, which is practical and easy to popularize.
