Children tantrum behaviour analysis based on Kinect sensor

Abstract

Tantrums exerts bad impact on children growth. It is very important to provide doctors with valid and reliable data in time to discover the abnormal behaviors of children. Children behavior analysis in video has been proposed to help; however, there are still three challenges of current implementations: caregivers' attitudes, video collecting and analysis, approaches to prove their effectiveness. In this paper we propose a prototype system, in which we exploit medical knowledge, questionnaire based attitudes investigation and Kinect based behavior analysis algorithm to address those problems. To assess the effectiveness of our system, we also design a questionnaire to interview the doctor and analyze the feedback result.
