Continuous automated analysis of facial dynamics of brachycephalic and normocephalic dogs in different contexts

Abstract This study develops a novel automated method for measuring continuous dynamics of dog facial behavior based on video-based tracking of 46 facial landmarks grounded in the Dog Facial Action Coding System. This method is applied for comparing the facial behavior of ( $$n_1=7$$ n 1 = 7 ) brach...
