Abstract: There is provided a hypermotor activity detection system, including: a video capture device configured to monitor a patient and obtain a video input; and a processing system configured to process the video input. The processing system includes: an optical flow module configured to carry out an optical flow analysis on a video input region determined from the video input, and further determine a flow field magnitude of the video input region; and a local motion reference module configured to obtain a local motion reference value. The local reference module includes: a division module; a sub-window flow module; a local motion magnitude module; and a local motion comparison module. Further, a corresponding method for detecting hypermotor activity is provided.
