Over the last years, neonatal face analysis has allowed the investigation and creation of non-invasive methods that enable classification of painful stimulus in newborns. In this context, changes on facial movements and expression have provided relevant scientific information and clinical significance, since they describe the presence of the pain itself perceived by the newborns. In this work, we propose and implement a computational framework that uses triangular meshes, with the goal of generating high resolution spatially normalized atlases potentially useful for automatic neonatal pain assessment.
