Abstract

The thermal Image Classification Method has been widely used for significant applications in many fields, including thermal images of the face. This study presents a method for thermal facial classification in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD have a neurological disorder that affects communication skills essential in daily life and often causes difficulties in social situations. As we know, the diagnosis of ASD currently still relies on human methods and does not yet have definite biological markers. Early diagnosis of ASD has a significant positive impact, especially in children. Deep learning techniques, especially in facial medical image analysis, have become a new research focus in ASD detection. Initial screening using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model with a transfer learning approach offers great potential for early diagnosis of ASD. The use of thermal imaging as a passive method to analyze ASD-related physiological signals has been proposed. In previous research, a deep learning model was developed to classify the faces of autistic children using thermal images. Therefore, this study aims to create a new Thermal Image Classification model for Autistic Children Using Res-Net Architecture. The architectures applied are ResNet-18, ResNet-34, and ResNet-50. As a comparison system, several of the same parameter values are used: epoch 100, batch size 2, SGD, Cross-entropy, learning rate 0.001, and momentum 0.9. The study test results show that the results of ResNet-18 are 97.22%, ResNet-34 99.22%, and ResNet-50 99.41%. Based on these results, ResNet-50 has the highest value.
