Abstract
A video monitoring system (20) includes a camera head (22, 62), including an infrared illumination source (76) and an image sensor (74). A mount (64, 102, 112) is configured to hold the camera head in a fixed location and orientation above a crib (24), so that the image sensor captures images of the crib and an intervention region (52) adjacent to the crib from a fixed perspective.
Claims42
A video monitoring system, comprising:
- a camera head, comprising an infrared illumination source and an image sensor;
- and
- a mount, which is configured to hold the camera head in a fixed location and orientation above a crib, so that the image sensor captures images of the crib and an intervention region adjacent to the crib from a fixed perspective.
Sleep monitoring apparatus, comprising:
- a memory, which is configured to receive and store a stream of images captured by a camera mounted over a crib in which an infant is put to sleep;
- and
- a processor, which is configured to analyze the stream of the images so as to detect and log events associated with sleep behavior of the infant.
A method for monitoring, comprising:
- providing a camera head, comprising an infrared illumination source and an image sensor for mounting in a fixed location and orientation above a crib;
- and
- displaying an image captured by the camera head, while overlaying on the image a graphical element corresponding to desired boundaries of the crib in a location in the image chosen so that when an actual boundary of the crib in the image is aligned with the graphical element, the image sensor captures images of the crib and an intervention region adjacent to the crib from a fixed perspective.
A method for sleep monitoring, comprising:
- receiving a stream of images captured by a camera mounted over a crib in which an infant is put to sleep;
- and
- analyzing the stream of the images so as to detect and log events associated with sleep behavior of the infant.
