本发明涉及一种基于热红外成像技术的非接触式睡眠呼吸暂停监测方法及装置，通过热成像仪实时采集人体睡眠过程中鼻孔和口腔热红外图像，热红外图像通过视频接口传输给图像识别处理模块，图像识别处理模块根据人体正常生命活动时呼吸特征与呼吸暂停时呼吸特征进行对比分析并做出判断，当判断结果为危险时图像识别处理模块触发预警模块发出报警。装置可非接触、无辐射的对人体呼吸暂停症状进行实时监测，并不会对人体造成伤害，应用局限性较小，适合家庭使用。

The invention relates to a non-contact sleep apnea monitoring method and device based on thermal infrared imaging technology. The thermal infrared images of the nostrils and mouth during human sleep are collected in real time through a thermal imager, and the thermal infrared images are transmitted to image recognition processing through a video interface. module, the image recognition processing module compares and analyzes the breathing characteristics during normal life activities and apnea and makes a judgment, and when the judgment result is dangerous, the image recognition processing module triggers the early warning module to issue an alarm. The device can monitor the apnea symptoms of the human body in real time without contact and radiation, and will not cause harm to the human body. The application is limited and suitable for home use.

Description

Contactless sleep apnea monitoring method and device based on the thermal infrared imaging technology

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of contactless sleep apnea monitoring method and device based on the thermal infrared imaging technology, belong to medical instruments field.

Background technology

The International Medical definition standard of sleep apnea syndrome is that one minute internal respiration road stops air-flow and reaches more than 10 seconds, can be diagnosed as " apnea syndrome ".This is a kind of potential fatal disease.Upper respiratory tract obstruction causes carrying out property anoxia, acidosis, dyspnea when being characterized in sleeping.Cause daytime drowsiness, giddy, headache, hypomnesis, weak, bradykinesia, the symptom such as sleep behavior is unusual.The long-term apnea syndrome of suffering from can cause hypertension, arrhythmia and sudden death, and medical circle is attached great importance to the research of this disease.Existing breathing sleep monitor method is multiple vital sign signals under the record patient sleep state, as: brain wave, electromyogram, electro-oculogram, mouth and nose air-flow, the motion of breast abdomen, blood oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, position etc.These methods are the contact monitoring, must be equipped with the special monitoring chamber, and are poor for applicability for domestic medicine.

Summary of the invention

The present invention seeks to: nostril and oral cavity heat radiation carry out the non-contact infrared imaging detection during to sleep quality, judge by the image comparison analysis whether the detected person asphyxia symptom occurs.

The technical solution adopted in the present invention is: based on the contactless sleep apnea monitoring method of thermal infrared imaging technology, by nostril and oral cavity thermal infrared images in the thermal imaging system Real-time Collection sleep quality process, thermal infrared images is transferred to the image recognition processing module by video interface, the image recognition processing module during according to the human normal vital movement when respiratory characteristic and asphyxia respiratory characteristic be analyzed and judge, send warning when judged result image recognition processing module when dangerous triggers warning module.Thermal imaging system is nostril and oral cavity thermal infrared images in the contactless collection sleep quality process.

The contactless sleep apnea monitoring device that is used for said method, comprise thermal imaging system, video interface, image recognition processing module and warning module, it is characterized in that thermal imaging system passes through the video interface connection layout as recognition processing module, the warning of image recognition processing module output connects warning module.Warning module is audible-visual annunciator.

Advantage of the present invention: to the noncontact of sleep quality asphyxia, radiationless monitoring, can not damage human body, application limitation is less, is fit to family and uses.
