Abstract

We propose a method to observe cardiac beat from 3D shape information of body surface by using the active stereo with waved-grid pattern projection, and report preliminary experiments to evaluate validities of the proposed method. By comparing results of our method with those of electrocardiogram (ECG), we confirmed sufficient correspondences between peak intervals of depth changes between contiguous frames measured by the active stereo and R-R intervals measured by ECG. We proposed the visualization of the spatial distribution of depth change plotted on the 3D shape of chest surface. We confirm that the spatial phase difference, which is caused by heart pump ability, appears in the 3-D shape change of chest surface.
