A second set of eyes for nurses: researchers develop intelligent camera system for monitoring of premature babies

Caption

Cambridge researchers have become the first to combine multiple image types – RGB (that mimics human vision), depth and infra-red – in a 3D camera set up to monitor premature babies in neonatal intensive care. The aim is to provide a second set of eyes for nurses through continuous visual monitoring of the babies’ behaviour.
