Abstract

Given a set of labeled 3D meshes acquired from stereo imaging of heads, the goal of this research is to develop a successful methodology for discriminating between individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and the general population. Although many approaches for such discrimination exist in the medical and computer vision literature, the goal is to develop methods that focus on shape-based morphological differences of facial features.
