Abstract :
Recently, cerebral disease has started to become a serious problem in an aging society. Rank evaluation of cerebral disease has not been developed and therefore rehabilitation is hard. In this study, the authors try to assess slight cerebral disease by using face recognition techniques and realizing face image synthesis using computer technology. If one can find a slight cerebral disease and rank evaluation, one can apply this to rehabilitation, and the load of both the medical doctor and the patient decreases. The authors have obtained results from experiments which they report here
