Photometric stereo system developed to monitor children’s breathing

Researchers from the University of the West of England (UWE) have developed a camera-based system to monitor young children with respiratory problems. The system, named dynamic photometric stereo, uses a camera and structured light to track the breathing movements of the child’s chest and abdomen.

According to a press release, the system is less intrusive than traditional methods that include the use of bands strapped on the body.
