The application relates to a
facial expression recognition-based method and
system for evaluating
anxiety of children in dental treatment. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a three-dimensional facial
point cloud sequence, a two-dimensional micro-expression texture
image sequence and a
bone conduction audio signal sequence in the process of dental treatment of children; performing
point cloud cleaning and three-dimensional
reference grid reconstruction on the three-dimensional facial
point cloud sequence to obtain a geometric base grid sequence, and performing
texture mapping to obtain a texture-mapped three-dimensional face grid sequence; extracting an acoustic feature sequence, a facial action unit intensity sequence and a facial micro-
motion intensity sequence; normalizing the data before treatment as a calibration baseline to obtain a relative action unit intensity sequence and a relative micro-
motion intensity sequence; performing multi-
modal fusion to obtain a continuous emotional disturbance index; grading to obtain a dynamic Frankel behavior scale result, calculating an individualized fear survey
score, and fusing to obtain a dental treatment
anxiety index of children. The method can realize dynamic evaluation of dental treatment
anxiety of children and improve the accuracy of anxiety evaluation.
