Detecting IWOB in toddlers via RGBD videos

David Plotkin and Daniel Izhak

Supervised by Yaniv Wolf

Abstract

Early detection of respiratory distress is critical for timely medical intervention, particularly in
young children. This study presents a non-invasive, video-based approach for assessing respiratory
effort by analyzing depth variations of the torso segmentation. Using a combination of depth
estimation models, segmentation models, and signal processing techniques, we extract chest and
abdomen respiratory rates (Breaths per minute) & phase angle between the signals. The data
undergoes noise reduction, Gaussian-based depth calculations, and signal processing to enhance
signal clarity. This framework demonstrates the potential for automated, contact-free respiratory
assessment, offering a promising tool for early detection and continuous monitoring in clinical and
home environments.
