The invention discloses a non-inductive sleep
respiration monitoring method based on a household
infrared camera, and belongs to the field of
image processing. The method comprises the following steps: in a
bedroom scene, taking a household
infrared camera as a unique video acquisition device to obtain a
video sequence of a monitored person; automatically positioning a
chest region of interest ROI through the target detection model; in the ROI,
optical flow is combined with
principal component analysis to extract the main direction of respiratory movement, and chest wall displacement
time sequence signals are generated; then estimating a sleeping posture by using the
human body key points, and executing projection compensation and same sleeping posture baseline normalization according to a camera-
human body geometrical relationship to obtain a
breathing amplitude; and extracting multi-dimensional features such as
respiratory rate, respiratory amplitude, inspiration and expiration ratio, rhythmicity and
signal quality in a fixed sliding window, inputting the multi-dimensional features into the lightweight
time sequence model, and outputting judgment results of normal
respiration,
hypopnea,
apnea and
rhythm disorder. The scheme has the advantages of being low in cost, convenient to deploy, non-inductive to users and the like, and is suitable for family early screening and long-term monitoring of abnormal sleep
breathing.
