Abstract

Behavioral indicators of deception and behavioral state are extremely difficult for humans to analyze. Blob analysis, a method for analyzing the movement of the head and hands based on the identification of skin color is presented. This method is validated with numerous skin tones. A proof-of-concept study is presented that uses blob analysis to explore behavioral state identification in the detection of deception.
