Abstract

It has been proved that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are associated with amplified emotional responses and poor emotional control. Underlying mechanisms and characteristics of these difficulties in using, sharing and responding to emotions are still not understood. Recent non-invasive technological frameworks based on computer vision can be applied to overcome this knowledge gap and this paper is right aimed at demonstrating how facial measurements from images can be exploited to compare how ASD children react to external stimuli with respect a control set of children.
