This proposal is about "Intelligent Assessment Tool" which we are going to develop as our final year research. We did some survey through internet and found that there is lack of concentration and ability to remember in children from age 3 to 8 years. There is no proper tool / application to identify memory strength and calculate growing age by giving some nonverbal intelligence tests and generate a result which contains level of intelligence of a child. Mainly we are focusing on automate the tests as android application. For the tests we are using non- verbal intelligence tests which are used to assess students who have language processing problems or those with limited Sinhala proficiency. All tests are monitored using an application. This application requires very less amount of resources and this application can be easily used by the users who does not have a great technical knowledge. There are two main aspects in the tests. They are image processing and data analysis part. For data analysis part previous patient records are needed. Information regarding this research will be obtained from lady Ridgeway hospital and sample data of 6 months which will be test results of 180 people is taken. This application will be a huge help for the doctors to check up on children who have disabilities and reduce consultant time, increase reliability of tests.
This proposal is about "Child Intelligent Assessment Tool" That we are going to develop as our final year project. as per research for gaining more knowledge we did some survey through internet and found that there is lack of concentration and ability to remember in children from their early ages there are some implemented systems but there aren’t any proper tools / application to identify memory strength,For the tests we are using non- verbal intelligence tests which are used to assess students who have language processing problems or those with limited language proficiency. All tests are monitored using an application. This application requires very less amount of resources and this application can be easily used by the users who does not have a great technical knowledge.it will be user friendly. Among these tests there will be a arithmetic test which will be test the mathematical knowledge of a child and a number cancellation test which will indicate the concentration a child. This application will be a huge aid for the doctors to check up on children who have disabilities and reduce consultant time hence increase reliability of tests.
**Research Problem**
With the evolution of world many types of work which depend on documents are being computerized the main reasons for this evolution are documentation consuming lot of time, lack of safety for information, less accuracy of information, less efficiency. The test used to determine growing age and IQ level of children which is based on the book Toni-3 and learning assessment is done by the above manual method which is documentation method.
The children who participate for these tests does not complete it at one attempt it is done when they are available for testing. Which means all the tests won’t be completed at one time. Because of that all the information about them, tests results and the participated tests must be documented correctly. Also the documents should be available for easy reuse.
With the development of technology children are getting more comfortable with computer and mobile phones. Because of this doing these tests using computers or mobiles phones won’t be a new thing for them. They will be more eager to use mobile application.
When these tests are done manually time consumption is very high. As an example when we take draw a person test one child is provided with a pencil and paper and when the time is over the paper is taken, later the parts of the drawn person is identified. Then the score is compared with the standard score mechanism of the learning assessment book and idea about growing age of the child is taken. After this procedure a report is made including the information about the child and it should be safely stored.
Using TONI-3 pattern test and arithmetic test we can decide which one is better when comparing the manual procedure or automated one. Using previous data we can get the child performance level.
Above process shows that to do these tests accurately. We have to spend lot of time, labor and resources. Also a safe place for storing those documents is needed.
In draw a person test how child is drawing the man is also important. It is important to note how he start the drawing, does he start it from the head or form any other body part. Data like this is important for later analysis so lot of data which will be lost. If the sequence of marks or total of marks are changed it will affect the accuracy of one result then the value of test will also get decreased.
**Main things producing by Test child intelligent assessment tool is,**
* Implement "good enough Harris draw a woman test".
* Implement the Bender Visual Motor gestalt test.
* Implement the number cancellation test and the arithmetical test.
* Implement the TONI-3 test that consists of pattern identification.
* Implement a function to calculate the performance and give an IQ level.
* Implement an arithmetic test for diagnose IQ level.
* Detect figure tracking.
**Objectives**
*Main Objective*
As a solution we are going to implement child intelligent assessment tool. It is an android application nonverbal tests can be done easily through this application.
Among them the drawing done by a child in draw a person test will be recognized and how child is drawing the figure (figure movement recognition) will also be detected by the application. Then according to the drawing the body parts of the person draw will be identified. With use of a mathematical function marks allocation and measuring growing age will be done. Later detailed report with all the information and facility to backup them will be provided.
**Specific Objectives**
Object 1: Detect the image and identify the body part.
Child intelligent assessment tool will save the drawing done by child. If he is using paper and pencil the image will be obtained using camera function. If not the drawing can be done by the paint app given through the app. Identification of the body parts of the drawing which is done by the paint app or taken through one camera function.
Object 2: Give the score to the body parts and calculate the growing age.
The body parts in the drawing of the child will be identified and marks will be given. It is a standard scoring mechanism done using the learning assessment book. After taking the total of those values it will be compared with a standard table and growing age will be obtained.
Object 3: Generate detailed report and backup
There detailed given by the child, his current age and developed age will be shown also marks obtained through the test and all other information and all other information will be included.
Object 4: Track the figure Movement
There how the child will make approach to draw the figure and how he will end it, which body part will be draw at last will be determined. Report about this also will be added to the main report through a tool.
