Facial Paralysis Detection in Infrared Thermal Images Using Asymmetry Analysis of Temperature and Texture Features

Facial temperature distribution in healthy people shows contralateral symmetry, which is generally disrupted by facial paralysis.This study aims to develop a quantitative thermal asymmetry analysis method for early diagnosis of facial paralysis in infrared thermal images.First, to improve the reliability of thermal image analysis, the facial region
