摘要：Most pregnancies last around 40 weeks. Babies born between 37 and 42 completed weeks of pregnancy are called full term. Premature birth is a serious health problem. Premature babies are at increased risk for newborn health complications, such as breathing problems, and even death. Most premature babies require care in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). A preemie usually needs frequent office care – to screen vision or hearing problems and assess baby development – involving multiple medical disciplines which require accurate coordination. Thus, we proposed a monitoring system to classify the behavior of a preemie using intelligent vision system. The focus is on predicting preemie behavior based on preemie motion, face and skin analysis. Our preliminary experimental results show a promising performance of the initial part of the system involving preemie face, skin detection and LDA algorithm.
