Noncontact Neonatal Respiration Rate Estimation Using Machine Vision

Using video data of neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) we developed and compared the performance of various techniques for noncontact respiration rate (RR) estimation. Data were collected from an overhead colour and depth (RGB-D) camera, while gold standard physiologic data were captured from the hospital's patient monitor. We developed a deep learning algorithm for autom...
