[0003] The Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN103700215A) proposed by Zhang Yan "a low-radiation wearable baby monitor" can only monitor temperature, humidity and sound; the Chinese invention patent (publication number) proposed by J.P. Tippan : CN103220967A) "Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Baby Monitor for Detecting Baby's Cardiopulmonary Discomfort", adopts microwave to monitor the baby's state, which is not easy to be accepted by parents; Xu Jing's Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN101564302) "based on multi-source Infant sleep agitation monitoring method and detection system based on information fusion ", which monitors temperature and humidity and thus infers the baby's agitation, but cannot monitor important vital signs; Shen Yunming's Chinese invention patent (public number: CN202614402U) "Infant based on ZigBee Incubator temperature monitoring and alarm system", which can only monitor the temperature of infant incubator; Han Meng's Chinese invention patent (public number: CN103156617A) "thorax and abdomen respiratory motion waveform sensor", a measurement developed by using the giant stress impedance effect of amorphous wire The waveform of human chest and abdomen breathing movement needs to be wrapped in the body of infants and young children, and can only monitor the breathing of infants and young children; the Chinese invention patent (public number: CN1377628) "Intelligent monitoring device for baby warming bed" proposed by Ning Xinbao, A variety of sensors are used to collect parameters such as body temperature and electrocardiogram of the baby being monitored, which belongs to contact measurement. If the measurement time is long, it will easily cause damage to the baby's skin; the Chinese invention patent (public number: CN1564213) "Baby Sleep Monitoring Device" proposed by Sun Ping ", can only monitor the baby's voice; Ding Yongsheng's Chinese invention patent (public number: CN1961829) "A Baby Sleeping Posture Monitoring Bandage", relying on the baby's sleeping straps to monitor the baby's sleeping position is not reliable. , the information obtained is too little; the Chinese invention patent (public number: CN102968753A) "Newborn Baby Care System Based on RFID Technology" proposed by Cui Lingling uses contact sensors and active RFID tags, which belongs to contact measurement, and the measurement time will be lost after a long time. It is easy to cause damage to the baby's skin, and there are long-term close-range wireless radiation, which is not easy to be accepted by parents
[0004] All in all, the existing technologies for monitoring infants and young children either cannot monitor important physiological parameters such as heart rate and respiration of infants and young children, or can only be measured with contact sensors, or use microwave radiation technology to achieve

Embodiment 1

[0049] A method for monitoring infants and young children based on machine vision, using a color camera when acquiring video images, see figure 1 and figure 2 , the method includes the following steps:

[0050] 101: Obtain video images of infants and infants' faces through a color camera set above the pillows of infants and infants;

[0051] Among them, in order to improve the accuracy of the acquired video image, the color camera used in this step adopts ANC Core, which can also be selected according to the needs of practical applications during specific implementation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] 102: Clean the video image, and obtain the cleaned video image;

[0053]Among them, the cleaning method can use image clipping and screening, image grayscale and histogram equalization, image normalization, video frame matching, image whitening processing, and removal of singular images to optimize the data set according to the differ...

Embodiment 2

[0075] A method for monitoring infants and young children based on machine vision, using an infrared camera when acquiring video images, see image 3 and Figure 4 , the method includes the following steps:

[0076] 201: Obtain video images of infants and infants' faces through an infrared camera set above the pillows of infants and infants;

[0077] Wherein, in order to improve the accuracy of the acquired video image, the infrared camera used in this step adopts Samsung SCO-2080RP, and it can also be selected according to the needs in practical applications during specific implementation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] 202: Clean the video image, and obtain the cleaned video image;

[0079] 203: Segment the cleaned video images to obtain eye video images, lip video images and cheek video images;

[0080] Wherein, the operation steps of step 202 and step 203 are the same as those in embodiment 1, which will not be described in det...

Embodiment 3

[0096] A kind of infant monitoring device based on machine vision, corresponding to the method in embodiment 1, see Figure 5 , the monitoring device includes: a color camera 1, an encoder 2, a display 3, an embedded system 4, an alarm 5,

[0097] The color camera 1 above the pillows of infants and young children records the images of the head and face of infants and young children in real time and inputs them to the encoder 2, and the encoder 2 encodes the image information of the color camera 1 into digital image signals and sends them to the embedded system 4 , in the embedded system 4, the visual characteristics of the frequency of opening and closing the mouth of infants and young children, the head position and the time it is maintained, the frequency of transposition, and the physiological parameter characteristics of the testees such as pulse rate are extracted. These feature information are fused and processed and judged and alarmed; when abnormalities are found in th...

Abstract

The invention discloses an infant monitoring method and device based on robot vision. The method includes the steps that visual behavior characteristics and physiological parameter characteristics of an infant are detected and represented according to eye video images, lip video images and cheek video images; the parameters are fused and judged to obtain a sleep state detection result of the infant. The device comprises an embedded system used for extracting the visual behavior characteristics and the physiological parameter characteristics of a testee, fusing and processing the characteristic information and sounding an alarm, wherein the visual behavior characteristics include mouth openness frequency, the head position, duration, posture changing frequency of the infant, and the physiological parameter characteristics include pulses and the like. When the sleep state of the infant is abnormal, an alarm signal is output to an alarm, and an abnormal signal is output to a parent or related guardianship personnel at the same time. Only one camera is used for obtaining the information, more information including physiological parameters of the infant is obtained, and health condition monitoring reliability of the infant is greatly improved.
