Analysis of Breathing Data

摘要

A method of analysing breathing data representing a shape of the trunk of a subject 104 as a function of time to monitor and/or analyse the subject's breathing pattern. The data is measured and processed into a data array relating to a 2-dimensional grid having grid points, a position in space of the shape at each grid point and points of time. The method includes the steps of mapping the data array onto a 2-dimensional array, decomposing the 2-dimensional array and forming a signature of the subject 104 from the decomposed 2-dimensional array representing a motion pattern.

1. A method of analysing a data array of at least three dimensions representing a shape of at least part of a body of a subject as a function of time, the data array relating to a 2-dimensional grid having grid points, a position in space of the shape at each grid point and points of time,
the method including the steps of:
mapping the data array onto a 2-dimensional array,decomposing the 2-dimensional array,forming a signature of the subject from the decomposed 2-dimensional array representing a motion pattern of the shape.
