Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent nursing, and in particular to an intelligent nursing behavior monitoring system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The analysis of human skeleton key point motion trajectory and behavior recognition technology is an important research direction in the field of computer vision, which shows a wide application prospect in intelligent monitoring, human-computer interaction, sports analysis, especially intelligent medical monitoring, etc. In the medical scene, this technology is highly expected to be used for automatic and intelligent monitoring of nursing behavior of bedridden patients to evaluate nursing quality, prevent complications such as pressure sores, and ensure that medical orders are strictly implemented.
[0003] At present, the mainstream technical solutions to realize the above-mentioned applications mainly rely on traditional computer vision methods or simple models based on two-dimensional skeletons. These existing technologies usually separate the processing of spatial information and temporal information: first, the spatial features of the key points are extracted from single-frame images using convolutional networks, and then additional recurrent networks or other models are used for time series modeling. This separate processing method is difficult to fully exploit the inherent structured spatial connection relationship between human key points and the time sequence evolution law in continuous motion, resulting in a bottleneck in the analysis ability of complex nursing actions (such as turning over and patting back). Specifically, the model's perception range is localized, it cannot understand the human posture globally, it is not sensitive to subtle but critical nursing actions, and it is difficult to effectively distinguish the standardization of actions, thereby causing the problems of insufficient recognition accuracy and high misjudgment rate. In addition, many technical solutions have high computational complexity, making it difficult to realize low-latency real-time analysis on resource-constrained edge computing devices, which cannot meet the stringent requirements of clinical monitoring for timeliness.
