Abstract

The non-contact easy detecting system of nursing person's body vital information and their behaviors monitoring system are developed, which consist of "Kinect" sensor and thermography camera. The "Kinect" sensor can catch the body contour and the body moving behavior, and output their imaging data realtime. The thermography camera can detect respiration state and body temperature, etc. In this study, the practicability of this system was verified.
