Respiratory Rate Estimation Method Based on Torso Detection
Haruto Sakurai, Hiroki Matsumoto (MIT) SIP2026-53
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) To alleviate the burden on healthcare professionals, a contactless respiratory rate estimation method using the YOLO object detection algorithm has been proposed. However, the conventional method suffers from accuracy degradation caused by body movement noise. In this paper, we propose a novel respiratory rate estimation method that employs transfer learning using a dataset annotated with torso regions, combined with a new feature that comprehensively captures the fluctuations in both the width and height of the bounding box. The proposed method achieves improved respiratory rate estimation accuracy for patients in a frontal seated position.
