| This study investigates how integrated bed measurements can be used to assess motor patterns (movements and postures) during sleep. An algorithm has been developed that detects movements based on the time derivate of mattress surface indentation. After each movement, the algorithm recognizes the adopted sleep posture based on an image feature vector and an optimal separating hyperplane constructed with the theory of support vector machines. The developed algorithm has been tested on a dataset of 30 fully recorded nights in a sleep laboratory. Movement detection has been compared to actigraphy, whereas posture recognition has been validated with a manual posture scoring based on video frames and chest orientation. Results show a high sensitivity for movement detection (91.2%) and posture recognition (between 83.6% and 95.9%), indicating that mattress indentation provides an accurate and unobtrusive measure to assess motor patterns during sleep. |
