SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING DATA ON THE BREATHING CYCLE OF A PATIENT

摘要

The invention relates to a system and non-invasive method for obtaining data on the breathing cycle of a patient from a video sequence of the patient recorded by a thermographic camera, that includes the following operations: identifying the thoracic region (TX), abdominal region (AB) and at least one nasal vestibule (NS) of the patient in the thermographic video sequence; and processing the thermographic video sequence in order to infer, as a function of periodic changes in said regions, data on the breathing cycle of the patient.
