Descrição: dc.descriptionFacial landmarks, widely studied in human affective computing, are beginning to gain interest in the animal domain. Specifically, landmark-based geometric morphometric methods have been used to objectively assess facial expressions in cats, focusing on pain recognition and the impact of breed-specific morphology on facial signaling. These methods employed a 48-landmark scheme grounded in cat facial anatomy. Manually annotating these landmarks, however, is a labor-intensive process, deeming it impractical for generating sufficiently large amounts of data for machine learning purposes and for use in applied real-time contexts with cats. Our previous work introduced an AI pipeline for automated landmark detection, which showed good performance in standard machine learning metrics. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of fully automated, end-to-end landmark-based systems for practical cat facial analysis tasks remained underexplored. In this paper we develop AI pipelines for three benchmark tasks using two previously collected datasets of cat faces. The tasks include automated cat breed recognition, cephalic type recognition and pain recognition. Our fully automated end-to-end pipelines reached accuracy of 75% and 66% in cephalic type and pain recognition respectively, suggesting that landmark-based approaches hold promise for automated pain assessment and morphological explorations.-
