  • Patent number: 12597131
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening mobile terminal visual attention abnormalities in children based on multimodal data learning. A calibration video and a testing video are set up, and a head-face video of children while watching the calibration video and the testing video on smartphones is recorded, respectively. An eye-tracking estimation model is constructed to predict the fixation point location from the head-face video corresponding to the testing video frame by frame and to extract the eye-tracking features. Facial expression features and head posture features are extracted. A Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is used to fuse different modal features and realize the mapping from multimodal features to category labels. In the testing stage, the head-face video of children to be classified while watching the videos on smartphones is recorded, and the features are extracted and input into the post-training model to determine whether they are abnormal.
