Due to the rapid growth of the elderly population, improving specific aspects of elderly healthcare has become more important. Sleeping care systems for the elderly are rare. In this paper, we propose a visual context-aware-based sleeping-respiration measurement system that measures the respiration information of elderly sleepers. Accurate respiration measurement requires considering all possible contexts for the sleeping person. The proposed system consists of a body-motion-context-detection subsystem, a respiration-context-detection subsystem, and a fast motion-vector-estimation-based respiration measurement subsystem. The system yielded accurate respiratory measurements for our study population.
由于老年人口的快速增长，改善老年医疗保健的特定方面变得更加重要。针对老年人的睡眠护理系统很少见。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于视觉上下文感知的睡眠呼吸测量系统，该系统可测量老年睡眠者的呼吸信息。准确的呼吸测量需要考虑睡眠者的所有可能情况。所提出的系统由身体运动上下文检测子系统、呼吸上下文检测子系统和基于快速运动矢量估计的呼吸测量子系统组成。该系统为我们的研究人群提供了准确的呼吸测量结果。
