OmniResMonitor: omnimonitoring of human respiration using acoustic multipath reflection

Résumé

Contactless respiration monitoring using wireless signals has drawn much attention in recent years. Many approaches have been proposed, however, they may not work when there is a lack of signals directly reflected from target's chest, e.g., a target faces away from the transceiver or a target is blocked by furniture. In this paper, we design and implement a novel omnimonitoring system for human respiration, OmniRespMonitor, using a pair of speaker and microphone. Different from Radio Frequency (RF) signal, acoustic signals cannot penetrate through walls and furniture. The multipath reflection in an indoor environment will result in highly abundant acoustic signals. In this case, even though there are lack of acoustic signals directly reflected by a target's chest, indirectly-reflected acoustic signals can still be received by the microphone. We can therefore monitor the target's respiration by extracting this subtle variation of indirectly reflected signals. To achieve this, we model chest movement using truncated System Frequency Response (SFR). We then develop a global search method based on the autocorrelation function to extract minute chest movement from SFR sequences. Finally, we dynamically synthesize the chest movement information to recover the breathing wave in real time. We conduct extensive experiments with both humans and animals (goat), the results show that OmniResMonitor is able to monitor single target's respiration within 5 meters in indoor environments in various challenging scenarios there are lack of directly-reflected acoustic signals.
