    The proposed video-based deep learning system classifies Parkinson's tremor and estimates tremor severity, achieving 91.3% accuracy in classification.

  • 4

    The system utilizes Eulerian video magnification to enhance subtle tremors and employs AlphaPose for superior 2D pose extraction from videos.
