Abstract: A method for photogrammetric measurement includes providing a bedsheet having one or more patterns printed thereon in accordance with a pattern template, which defines respective locations of the one or more patterns in a template coordinate frame. An image is received, in an image coordinate frame, of a person lying on a bed, which is covered by the bedsheet. The image is processed in order to identify the one or more patterns in the image and to match the one or more patterns identified in the image to the one or more patterns in the pattern template. A transformation is computed, based on the matched patterns, between the image coordinate frame and the template coordinate frame. A dimension of the person is measured by applying the computed transformation to the image of the person.

Abstract: A system for respiration monitoring includes a garment, which is configured to be fitted snugly around a body of a human subject, and which includes, on at least a portion of the garment that fits around a thorax of the subject, a pattern of light and dark pigments having a high contrast at a near infrared wavelength. A camera head is configured to be mounted in proximity to a bed in which the subject is to be placed, and includes an image sensor and an infrared illumination source, which is configured to illuminate the bed with radiation at the near infrared wavelength, and is configured to transmit a video stream of images of the subject in the bed captured by the image sensor to a processor, which analyzes movement of the pattern in the images in order to detect a respiratory motion of the thorax.
