Abstract:
A Photometric stereo based unique and novel non-contact method has been developed to perform pulmonary functional testing. This system is based on two digital cameras and eight light sources. One camera observes the subject from the front and second from the back while subject is standing in the middle of rig wearing a tight white t-shirt. Registration between both sides of the rig is not required and light source direction calibration is only required once. The system can capture images of 1.4 Mega pixels at 110 frames per second (fps) using an ordinary desktop system and process it offline. Chest and abdomen wall motion is observed over time by estimating change in surface gradient calculated from Photometric Stereo. Very high (0.98) correlation between resulting volume from Photometric Stereo and Spirometer data is observed.
