Detection of diseases using facial features with Deep transfer learning
Keywords:
Facial diagnosis, beta-thalassemia, hyperthyroidism, down syndrome, leprosy, vitiligoAbstract
There is always a relation between face and diseases that leads the idea of facial diagnosis. The aim of this project is to predict the diseases using 2 Dimensional facial images. In this study, we are dealing with diagnosis of single and multiple illnesses such as Beta-thalassemia, hyperthyroidism, Down syndrome, leprosy and vitiligo. Accuracy for face recognition is over 90%. In practical collecting disease specific images are complex, expensive and time taking process. Therefore, collecting data sets for face recognition is hard and complicated. So, in deep transfer learning applications we can do facial diagnosis with a small dataset which will be easy process where we can train the pre trained model.
