ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF RESPIRATORY RATES USING DEPTH-BASED CAMERA SYSTEM
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18755304 titled 'ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF RESPIRATORY RATES USING DEPTH-BASED CAMERA SYSTEM
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods for improving the accurate determination of respiratory rate, the respiratory rate being measured or monitored from depth measurements from a non-contact monitoring system. The methods include analyzing a waveform obtained from a respiratory parameter and discarding data that does not meet criteria. The respiratory rate may be obtained from an original waveform, a processed waveform, or from a power spectrum derived from the original or processed waveform.
