Abstract

There are specific properties, especially for facial dysmorphology caused by genetic syndromes and these properties are used by geneticists to prediagnose even before a clinical examination and genotyping are undertaken. Analyzing of properties in faces is sometimes sufficient to diagnose, however, sometimes it is necessary to analyze other specific properties of the body such as the structure of the skeleton and the characteristics of speech produced. Diagnosing of a congenital malformation correctly among many syndromes is beyond the capability of human. It will be possible to diagnose a good number of syndromes correctly by using face recognition DSS. Face recognition has attracted great attention for ten years as one of the most popular examination areas of computer vision and one of the most successful implementations of image processing. There is a need to make more efficient and effective preliminary diagnosing of syndromes by establishing novel DDSS such as novel face recognition algorithms.
