Application of Deep Learning for Infant Vomiting and Crying Detection

Abstract

Obstruction of the nose and mouth by vomit or quilts is the main cause of sudden infant death. Different baby sleeping postures will increase the difficulty of face detection. Therefore, a deep learning neural network is adopted to detect baby faces and a novel algorithm is proposed to detect vomiting of infants in this paper. The SSD + mobilenet network in Teansorflow is adopted. Experimental results show reasonable detection results of the proposed method.
