The present disclosure relates to the field of medical monitoring, and, in particular, to non-contact detecting and monitoring of patient breathing. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for calculating a change in depth of regions in one or more regions of interest (ROI's) on a patient and assigning one or more visual indicators to the regions based on the calculated changes in depth of the regions over time. In some embodiments, one or more breathing parameter signals corresponding to the regions can be generated and/or analyzed. In these and other embodiments, the one or more visual indicators can be displayed overlaid onto the regions in real-time. In these and still other embodiments, the systems, methods, and/or computer readable media (i) can display one or more generated breathing parameter signals in real-time and/or (ii) can trigger an alert and/or an alarm when a breathing abnormality is detected.
