A method and apparatus for predicting hospital bed exit events from video camera systems is disclosed. The system processes video data with a deep convolutional neural network consisting of five main layers: a 1×1 3D convolutional layer used for generating feature maps from raw video data, a context-aware pooling layer used for rectifying data from different camera angles, two fully connected layers used for applying pre-trained deep features, and an output layer used to provide a likelihood of a bed exit event.
