  • Publication number: 20220361824
    Abstract: For generating a breathing alert is disclosed, a method receives a video stream of a subject. The method further estimates a breathing signal from the video stream. The method determines one of a large-scale motion and/or a breathing event of the subject based on the breathing signal. The method generates an alert if both no breathing event is identified and no large-scale motion of the subject is identified within an event time interval.

  • Patent number: 10709354
    Abstract: For generating a breathing alert, a method captures a video stream of a subject. The method further generates a vector time series that includes a vector for each image frame of the video stream. The method estimates of breathing signal from the vector time series. The method further determines one of large-scale motion and a breathing event of the subject based on the breathing signal. The method generates an alert if no breathing event is identified and no large-scale motion of the subject is identified within an event time interval.

  • Patent number: 9852507
    Abstract: For remote heart rate estimation, a method detects an object of interest (OOI) in each image of a video data and tracks the OOI in each image of the video data. The method identifies a region of interest (ROI) within the OOI and generates a plurality of super pixels from a plurality of pixels in each ROI. The method further generates a super-pixel time series from the plurality of super pixels in each image and removes interfering signals from the super-pixel time series. The method further models the super-pixel time series as a super-pixel model and calculates a heart beat signal from the super-pixel model. The method calculates heart characteristics from the heart beat signal. The heart characteristics include one or more of a heart rate, an inter-beat interval, and a heart rate variability.
