IMAGE PROCESSING METHODS

ABSTRACT:

We proposed an embedded system and a Webcam to design an embedded

monitor system for body breath detection (EMSFBBD) which monitors and records the

patient’s breath and sends the information to a specific server through the Internet. Our

design uses image processing methods to monitor and record human breath fluctuation

and to calculate the breath rate. If the breath rate is too low, too fast or stops for more

than 10 seconds, our design sends out an alarm signal. Our EMSFBBD consists of two

parts. For the first part a Webcam is used to capture images and to transmit them to an

embedded board. For the second part an image processing program using the temporal

differencing algorithm to detect chest expansion and contraction to determine the

breath rate is installed in the embedded board. Our design monitors the vital signs by

way of the breath rate.

EXISTING METHOD:

The traditional way of monitoring the breath rate involves contact with the

human body. For example, for Impedance Anemography, one side of the electrode,

which is placed on the skin of the chest, sends a high-frequency current, and

concurrently uses the other side of the receiving electrode to receive the current changes

that take place during a breathing cycle.

METHODS FOR FINDING MOVING OBJECTS

We proposed design detects chest expansion and contraction, is similar to the

detection of a moving object by image processing. There are three major methods used

to detect a moving object.

Temporal differencing

Background Subtraction

Optical Flow

Temporal differencing

This method used to find the difference between two continuous image data, obtains

the changes in the volume of a moving object. If the background variation is not great,

this method works well. Its disadvantage is that this method is unable to completely

discover the outline of the moving object

Background Subtraction

This method establishes the background of the images and then inputs one image after

another in order to cancel the background and to obtain the moving object. This

method, which can produce a complete outline of moving objects, is very sensitive to

changes in the environment because the background is established from the very

beginning.

Optical Flow

This method used to calculates moving locations in time to discern each pixel in

the image. This method requires a large amount of computing, and its use in an

embedded board seriously affects efficiency.

PROPOSED METHOD:

The system sends images captured by the Webcam to the embedded board

where through digital image processing the EMSFBBD determines the breath rate of the

human body to detect whether the breath rate is normal. The LCD displays the real-

time status of the breath rate on the embedded board. If no signs of life are detected, a

warning message is sent to the hospital by the network interface of the board.

In our design, we use “temporal differencing” which has a higher image

processing speed and whose use in the embedded board will not result in much of a

burden. In the “temporal differencing” method uses two continuous images for

subtraction to detect the moving objects. Moreover, the “temporal differencing” method

quickly adapts to changes in lighting or background. Although this method may detect

moving objects which are already broken, we learn if any moving object is detected.

When the body is far away from the webcam, we use the nearest neighbor interpolation

method to enlarge the images. The enlargement method calculates the zoom ratio, and

then determines the pixel of the new images.

The temporal differencing method which reads the continuous image from the

Webcam, then fetches the separated image, processes this image at the gray level, and

then enlarges all the images of the object. This method finds the subtraction of the

continuous images, chooses the threshold value for the decision, uses a Gaussian filter

to remove noise and then obtains the chest displacement in breathing.
