Papanikolopoulos' research featured in New Scientist

May 22, 2012

Professor Nikos Papanikolopoulos' research using Kinect cameras to diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was recently featured in the New Scientist.

The group uses cameras set up in a nursery to monitor 3 and 5 year-olds as they play tracking each child based on their clothing. The footage is loaded to a computer where software then examines each child's movement based on the average amount of movement in the room, and then flagging children who move more or less than the average.
