Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
What is disclosed is a system and method for estimating minute ventilation by analyzing distortions in reflections of structured illumination patterns captured in a video of a thoracic region of a subject of interest being monitored for respiratory function. Measurement readings can be acquired in a few seconds under a diverse set of lighting conditions and provide a non-contact approach to patient respiratory function that is particularly useful for infant care in an intensive care unit (ICU), sleep studies, and can aid in the early detection of sudden deterioration of physiological conditions due to detectable changes in chest volume. The systems and methods disclosed herein provide an effective tool for non-contact minute ventilation estimation and respiratory function analysis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for estimating minute ventilation from video captured of a subject of interest being monitored for respiratory function in a remote sensing environment, the method comprising: receiving a video of a target area of a thoracic region of a subject of interest being monitored for respiratory function; and processing said video to obtain a depth map at inspiration and expiration within a same breathing cycle for a plurality of breathing cycles over tim…
