  • Publication number: 20240081705
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-contact fatigue detection system and method based on rPPG. The system and method adopt multi-thread synchronous communication for real-time acquisition and processing of rPPG signal, enabling fatigue status detection. In this setup, the first thread handles real-time rPPG data capture, storage and concatenation, while the second thread conducts real-time analysis and fatigue detection of rPPG data. Through a combination of skin detection and LUV color space conversion, rPPG raw signal extraction is achieved, effectively eliminating interference from internal and external environmental facial noise; Subsequently, an adaptive multi-stage filtering process enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, and a multi-dimensional fusion CNN model ensures accurate detection of respiration and heart rate.

  • Publication number: 20240023884
    Abstract: Disclosed are a non-contact fatigue detection method and system. The method comprises: sending a millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar signal to a person being detected, receiving an echo signal reflected from the person, and determining a time-frequency domain feature, a non-linear feature and a time-series feature of a vital sign signal; acquiring a facial video image of the person, and performing facial detection and alignment on the basis of the facial video image, for extracting a time domain feature and a spatial domain feature of the person's face; fusing the determined vital sign signal with the time domain feature and the spatial domain feature of the person's face, for obtaining a fused feature; and determining whether the person is in a fatigued state by the fused feature. By fusing the two detection techniques, the method effectively suppressing the interference of subjective and objective factors, and improving the accuracy of fatigue detection.

  • Publication number: 20240000345
    Abstract: Disclosed are a millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar-based non-contact identity recognition method and system. The method comprises: emitting an mmWave radar signal to a user to be recognized, and receiving an echo signal reflected from the user; performing clutter suppression and echo selection on the echo signal, and extracting a heartbeat signal; segmenting the heartbeat signal beat by beat, and determining its corresponding beat features; and comparing the beat features of the user with the beat feature sets of a standard user group; if the beat features of the user matches one of the beat feature set in the standard user group, the identity recognition being successful; otherwise, being not successful. According to the method, the use of a heartbeat signal for identity recognition has high reliability, and the use of an mmWave radar technology for non-contact identity recognition has high flexibility and accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20230334862
    Abstract: The present invention discloses construction method and system of a descriptive model of classroom teaching behavior events. The construction method includes steps as the followings: acquiring classroom teaching video data to be trained; dividing the classroom teaching video data to be trained into multiple events according to utterances of a teacher by using a voice activity detection technology; and performing multi-modal recognition on all events by using multiple artificial intelligence technologies to divide the events into sub-events in multiple dimensions, establishing an event descriptive model according to the sub-events, and describing various teaching behavior events of the teacher in a classroom. The present invention divides a classroom video according to voice, which can ensure the completeness of the teacher's non-verbal behavior in each event to the greatest extent.
