[0043] Example 1
[0044] Please see Figure 1 The image shows a method for detecting face occlusion in bedridden individuals by fusing millimeter-wave and thermal imaging in the first embodiment of the present invention. The method includes steps S1 to S5:
[0045] S1, acquires raw ADC data of millimeter radar waves and temperature matrix data of thermal imaging sensors;
[0046] It should be noted that the millimeter-wave radar uses 60GHz MIMO FMCW modulation and outputs an ADC data stream. In this embodiment, the raw ADC data includes target distance, target velocity, and target angle information. The thermal imaging sensor uses a 32×24 resolution low-cost infrared array (such as MLX90640) and outputs a temperature distribution matrix (accuracy ±0.5℃).
[0047] S2, Detect the target based on the raw data of the ADC to detect the target's location and extract the target's vital signs;
[0048] Specifically, step S2 includes steps S21 to S22:
[0049] S21, the respiratory rate and heart rate are extracted from the chest cavity micro-movements of the target using a phase demodulation algorithm;
[0050] S22, calculate the body dynamics of the target based on the Doppler energy integral;
[0051] Understandably, the CFAR algorithm is used to detect human targets within the bed area (distance ≤ 1.5m), and the phase demodulation algorithm is used to extract respiratory rate (accuracy ± 0.2 Hz) and heart rate (accuracy ± 3 bpm) from chest micro-movements; the body motion intensity (0-100 scale) is calculated by Doppler energy integration.
[0052] S3, extract the facial region temperature of the target based on the temperature matrix data, and calculate the temperature distribution entropy value of the facial region temperature to obtain the distribution entropy value calculation result;
[0053] Specifically, step S3 includes step S31:
[0054] S31, based on the temperature matrix data and by locating the facial region through the temperature gradient, and by evaluating the temperature distribution uniformity of the facial region through the information entropy formula;
[0055] It is understandable that the typical temperature of the facial area is 34-37℃ when the ROI is used to locate the facial region; the entropy value of a normal face is >2.5, and the entropy value is <1.0 when covered (the cotton quilt causes temperature uniformity).
[0056] It should be noted that the expression for assessing the uniformity of temperature distribution in the facial area is:
[0057] ;
[0058] In the formula, H represents the facial temperature distribution entropy, and p(i) represents the probability of temperature i.
[0059] S4, based on the vital signs, the target is judged to be abnormal to obtain the judgment result, and the human distribution is judged to be abnormal through the distribution entropy value calculation result to obtain the judgment result;
[0060] It should be explained that, in this embodiment, thermal imaging abnormalities include: entropy value < threshold T1 (e.g., 1.2) and lasting > 10s; and radar vital signs abnormalities include: respiratory rate < 0.1Hz or > 0.6Hz, or heart rate < 40bpm or > 120bpm, or kinetic energy > 80 (struggle characteristics).
[0061] S5, perform weighted probability fusion on the judgment result and the determination result to obtain the occlusion probability of the target, and determine whether the occlusion probability exceeds a preset value. If so, trigger an alarm.
[0062] Understandably, the overall probability is: Where I is the normalized anomaly index, I_thermal represents the normalized value of the thermal imaging facial temperature distribution entropy, and I_radar represents the normalized value of radar vital signs anomalies; when P>0.8, an alarm is triggered, and the alarm can be pushed through audible and visual warnings and cloud platform.
[0063] It is worth noting that if the occlusion probability does not exceed the preset value, the process of collecting raw ADC data of millimeter radar waves and temperature matrix data of thermal imaging sensors is repeated; the target is detected based on the raw ADC data to detect the target position and extract the target's vital signs; the facial region temperature of the target is extracted based on the temperature matrix data, and the temperature distribution entropy value of the facial region temperature is calculated to obtain the distribution entropy value calculation result; the target is judged for abnormal vital signs based on the vital signs to obtain the judgment result, and the human distribution abnormality is judged based on the distribution entropy value calculation result to obtain the judgment result; the judgment result and the judgment result are weighted probability fused to obtain the occlusion probability of the target, and it is determined whether the occlusion probability exceeds the preset value.
[0064] This can be specifically applied in nursing home bedrooms during winter, where elderly residents sleep under thick quilts (3cm thick), and their faces are sometimes covered by the quilts due to turning over. The ambient temperature is 22℃, and the human body temperature is 36.5℃. In practical implementation:
[0065] Initial state:
[0066] The radar detected a target in the bed area (distance 0.8m). Vital signs: respiratory rate 0.25Hz, heart rate 68bpm, energy level 5.
[0067] Thermal imaging facial ROI entropy value = 2.8 (normal distribution);
[0068] The incident occurred:
[0069] t=0s: The elderly person turns over, and the quilt covers the area around the mouth and nose;
[0070] t+5s: Thermal imaging detected that the facial entropy value dropped to 0.9 (temperature homogenization), and marked it as "suspected occlusion";
[0071] t+8s: The radar detected a sudden drop in respiratory rate to 0.08Hz (decreased blood oxygen), heart rate rising to 112bpm (panic), and energy level rising to 75 (struggling).
[0072] Decision-making and alarms:
[0073] Fusion algorithm calculation: ;
[0074] Alarm triggered: The bedside lamp flashes red light (2Hz), the buzzer sounds at 85dB, and an alarm message is pushed to the nursing station PDA;
[0075] The nurse confirms and removes the bedding on-site; the process takes less than 2 minutes.
[0076] Reset: Thermal imaging entropy value recovers to >2.5, radar vital signs are normal (respiratory rate 0.28Hz, heart rate 72bpm); system returns to low power standby state (power consumption ≤1.5W).
[0077] In summary, the millimeter-wave and thermal imaging fusion method for detecting face occlusion in bedridden individuals in the above embodiments of the present invention judges abnormalities in the target's vital signs through vital signs, calculates the distribution entropy value based on the temperature distribution entropy value of the facial area, and obtains the target's occlusion probability through weighted probability fusion judgment result. Then, based on whether the occlusion probability exceeds a threshold, it is determined whether the target is occluded. This weighted fusion judgment not only effectively monitors the target's vital signs and whether the face is occluded under different conditions, but also allows monitoring without infringing on the target's privacy. Furthermore, pure thermal imaging may produce false alarms when the environment warms up (e.g., a hot water bottle near the face), but the absence of abnormal radar vital signs suppresses false alarms. Low-resolution thermal imaging cannot reconstruct facial features (approximately 2 cm² per pixel), complying with GDPR / CCPA specifications. Through dual-modal cross-validation, the false alarm rate of occlusion detection is reduced from 15% to <2% (laboratory simulation data); it can work reliably in an ambient temperature range of 15-38℃ (traditional thermal imaging solutions fail at >35℃); it does not collect visible light images, and the thermal imaging resolution is only 32×24 (unable to identify individuals); raw data is processed locally without uploading to the cloud to improve privacy and security; it provides early warning of suffocation risk (average delay from occlusion occurrence to alarm <10s), avoiding brain damage.
