Semi-automatic tracking of markers in facial palsy

We introduce a semi-automatic tracking method that can be utilized for the analysis of facial markers in the medical condition of facial palsy. Tracking of markers will help medical physicians in evaluating this medical condition quantitatively. We use particle filtering to track markers towards measuring distances needed to evaluate the degree of facial palsy. We show that by employing tracking methods, the analysis time is reduced without losing the high accuracy of the results.
