Vision-Based Hand Hygiene Monitoring in Hospitals
Recent progress in developing cost-effective depth sensors has enabled new AIassisted solutions such as assisted driving vehicles and smart spaces. Machine learning techniques have been successfully applied on these depth signals to perceive meaningful information about human behavior. In this work, we propose to deploy depth sensors in hospital settings and use computer vision methods to enabl...
