Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood mental disorders. Hyperactivity is a typical symptom of ADHD in children. Clinicians diagnose this symptom by evaluating the children’s activities based on subjective rating scales and clinical experience. In this work, an objective system is proposed to quantify the movements of children with ADHD automatically.



Relevance: In movement detection, we explore a new local search algorithm to detect any potential motions of children based on three newly designed evaluation metrics. In the movement quantification, two parameters are investigated to quantify the participation degree and the displacements of each body part in the movements. This system is tested by a depth dataset of children with ADHD.
