MULTIMODAL CONTACTLESS VITAL SIGN MONITORING
A multimodal, contactless vital sign monitoring system is configured to perform the following operations. Images are received from a video capture device. An image of a subject is identified within the images. The image of the subject is segmented into a plurality of segments. A first analysis is performed on the plurality of segments to identify a color feature. A second analysis is performed of the plurality of segments to identify a motion feature. Using a combination of the color feature and the motion feature a plurality of vital signs for the subject are determined. The first analyzing and the second analyzing are performed in parallel. The plurality of vital signs include one or more of heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate variability, and atrial fibrillation.

Characterizing behavior of anatomical structures
This disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for characterizing a behavior of an anatomical structure. Tracking data can be generated by a tracking system to represent at least a location of at least one sensor in a three-dimensional tracking coordinate system over time. A motion model is generated to characterize the behavior of the anatomical structure over a plurality of time instances. For instance, the motion model includes at least one free parameter and a temporal parameter. Each free parameter estimating geometry of the anatomical structure derived from the tracking data, and the temporal parameter indexes the free parameter over the plurality of time instances. A visualization is generated to provide a sequence of graphical images based on the motion model to characterize behavior of the anatomical structure over time.
Obtainment of cleaned sequences relating to a center of gravity
Methods and systems are provided for obtaining cleaned sequences showing trajectories of movement of a center of gravity and for estimating a biometric information pattern or value of a target. One of the methods includes removing noises from initial sequences showing trajectories of movement of a center of gravity to obtain the cleaned sequences. Another one of the methods includes reading cleaned sequences of the target into a memory, extracting features from the cleaned sequences, and estimating a biometric information pattern or value of the target from the extracted features, using a classification or regression model of biometric information patterns or values. The biometric information pattern may be a pattern derived from respiratory or circulatory organs of a target.
