What is disclosed is a non-contact system and method for determining cardiac function parameters from a vascular pattern identified from RGB and IR video signals captured simultaneously of a region of exposed skin of a subject of interest. In one embodiment, a video of a region of exposed skin is captured using a video camera that captures color values for pixels over visible channels and an IR camera that measures pixel intensity values in wavelength ranges of interest. Pixel intensity values are processed to generate a vascular binary mask that indicates pixel locations corresponding to the vascular pathways. The IR images are registered with corresponding data from the camera's visible channels such that pixels that correspond to the vascular pattern can be isolated in each frame of the video of visible color data. Once processed, pixels associated with the isolated vascular patterns are analyzed to determine desired cardiac function parameters.

What is disclosed is a system for non-contact, video-based determination of vehicle component failure due to overheating. In a manner more fully disclosed herein, at least one infrared camera is used to capture an infrared image of a component of a vehicle to be inspected for overheating. The images are processed to isolate that component. A temperature is estimated for the isolated component in the image using a camera calibration curve which relates pixel intensities to temperature. A temperature threshold for the isolated component is retrieved from a database based upon a classification of the vehicle. The estimated temperature is then compared to that component's temperature threshold. If the estimated temperature is above the retrieved threshold, a signal is initiated. The teachings hereof find their uses in a variety of remote and non-cooperative vehicle inspection modes in the field of transportation safety. Various embodiments are disclosed.

What is disclosed is a video-based system and method for estimating heart rate variability from time-series signals generated from video images captured of a subject of interest being monitored for cardiac function. In a manner more fully disclosed herein, low frequency and high frequency components are extracted from a time-series signal obtained by processing a video of the subject being monitored. A ratio of the low and high frequency of the integrated power spectrum within these components is computed. Analysis of the dynamics of this ratio over time is used to estimate heart rate variability. The teachings hereof can be used in a continuous monitoring mode with a relatively high degree of measurement accuracy and find their uses in a variety of diverse applications such as, for instance, emergency rooms, cardiac intensive care units, neonatal intensive care units, and various telemedicine applications.
摘要:
What is disclosed is a computationally efficient system and method for estimating a subject's cardiac pulse rate from multi-channel source video data. In one embodiment, A time-series signal is continuously processed by repeatedly: (1) conditioning the estimated source signal obtained on a previous iteration to produce a next reference signal; (2) using this reference signal to perform constrained source separation on this next segment to obtain an estimated source signal. A frequency at which this next estimated source signal converged is the subject's estimated cardiac pulse rate for this signal segment. The reference signal is repeatedly updated. Upon convergence, the sliding window is shifted to define a next segment of the time-series signal. The method repeats for each time-series signal segment on a continuous basis or until a termination criteria is met. In such a manner, the subject's cardiac pulse rate is estimated from video data on a continuous basis.
