Automated Analysis of Non-Verbal Expressive Gesture

A framework and software system for real-time tracking and analysis of non-verbal expressive and emotional behavior is proposed. The objective is to design and create multimodal interactive systems for the automated analysis of emotions. The system will give audiovisual feedback to support the therapy of children affected by Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC). The system is based on the EyesWeb XMI open software platform and on Kinect depth sensors.
