A Study on the Possible Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease on the Basis of Facial Image Analysis

One of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is the occurrence of problems with the expression of emotions on the face, called facial masking, facial bradykinesia or hypomimia. Recent medical studies show that this symptom can be used in the diagnosis of this disease. In the presented study, the autho...
