    abstract = {Neuromuscular retraining is an important part of facial paralysis rehabilitation. To date, few publications have addressed the development of automated systems that support facial training. Current approaches require external devices attached to the patient’s face, lack quantitative feedback, and are constrained to one or two facial training exercises. We propose an automated camera-based training system that provides global and local feedback for 12 different facial training exercises. Based on extracted 3D facial features, the patient’s performance is evaluated and quantitative feedback is derived. The description of the feedback estimation is supplemented by a detailed experimental evaluation of the 3D feature extraction.},
