Abstract

In this paper, we present a system that exploits existing video streams from a hospital operating room (OR) to infer OR usage states. We define OR states that are relevant for assessing OR usage efficiency. We adopt a holistic approach that involves the combination of two meaningful human motion features: gestures or upper body movements computed using optical flow and whole body movements computed through motion trajectories. The two features are independently modeled for each of the defined OR usage states and eventually fused to obtain a final decision. Our approach is tested on a large collection of videos and the results show that the combination of both human motion features provide significant discriminative power in understanding usage of an OR.
