Published Paper Details:

The Autism Support System aims to enhance the learning and emotional development of children diagnosed with autism through innovative technologies. The emotion recognition module detects and classifies emotions from facial expressions, providing audio feedback and maintaining logs of detected emotions. In cases of frequent distress detection, an emergency SMS is sent to parents. The hand gesture recognition module enables children to play songs based on their facial expressions, fostering a multimodal interaction experience. The emotion gaming module engages children in interactive games that promote the recognition and understanding of emotions. This paper presents the system's architecture, design, implementation, and testing, along with the results and potential future improvements. The study demonstrates the potential of leveraging advanced technologies to support the emotional and social development of children with autism, offering a promising tool for therapists, educators, and caregivers. By integrating facial recognition, gesture recognition, and emotion-based gaming, the system provides a comprehensive platform for emotion detection and interaction.. This review aims to not only become a reference for future research on emotion recognition, but also to provide an overview of the work done in this topic for potential readers.
