DECH: Measuring Breathing Movements by a Photogrammetric Method

Goals

To develop a photogrammetric system for 3D calibrated acquisition of breathing movements and the characterization of such data to obtain features suitable for the evaluation of the dynamic stability of the spine.

In the first stage of the project the system will comprise synchronous image capture from 6 digital camera at rate close to 10fps and video sequence off-line analysis software for obtaining 3D measurements.

Support

Internal Grant Agency of the Czech Ministry of Health under grant NK/7735-3.
