Abstract

The present invention provides a neonatal pain identification method based on facial expression analysis, which can identify whether a newborn is painful or not. The method comprises: obtaining a video sequence containing facial information of a human face; extracting facial dynamic geometric features and facial dynamic texture features that represent dynamic changes in pain facial expressions from the obtained video sequence; carrying out feature fusion on the extracted facial dynamic geometric features and the facial dynamic texture feature, and carrying out dimension reduction on a facial feature vector obtained after the fusion; and according to the facial feature vector obtained after the dimension reduction, training a classifier. The present invention relates to the technical field of pattern identification and biomedicine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of pattern recognition and biomedical technology, in particular to a newborn pain recognition method based on facial expression analysis. Background technique [0002] Pain is a social communication tendency of human evolution. As a special sensory experience related to injury, it can convey the discomfort caused by various harmful stimuli. Pain is of great significance and value to the survival of individuals. In 1976, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defined pain as "an unpleasant subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage or potential damage". In 1995, the American Pain Society listed pain as the fifth vital sign and emphasized the importance of systematic evaluation and routine recording of pain. [0003] Facial expression is the most intuitive and important behavioral indicator in observation and assessment, which is more sensitive than observation indicat...
