Abstract

A method for automatically assessing theconstructional sequence from a neuropsychologicaldrawing task using Hidden Markov Models is presented.We also present a method of extracting and identifyingthe position of individual pen strokes relating toindividual sides of a shape within a drawing to formtraining and testing sequences. Our results from twoexperiments using data from patients with visuo-spatialneglect show the HMM classifier is able to generalise onincorrectly extracted sequences and obtain a diagnosticclassification which can be used alongside other forms ofconventional assessment.
