• Abstract: Although the field of sleep study has greatly developed over the recent years, the most common and efficient way to detect sleep issues remains a sleep examination performed in a sleep laboratory, in a procedure called Polysomnography (PSG). This examination measures several vital signals during a full night's sleep using multiple sensors connected to the patient's body. Yet, despite being the golden standard, the connection of the sensors and the unfamiliar environment inevitably impact the quality of the patient's sleep and the examination itself. Therefore, with the novel development of more accurate and affordable 3D sensing devices, new approaches for non-contact sleep study emerged. These methods utilize different techniques with the purpose to extract the same sleep parameters, but remotely, eliminating the need of any physical connections to the patient's body. However, in order to enable reliable remote extraction, these methods require accurate identification of the basic Region of Interest (ROI) i.e. the chest area of the patient, a task that is currently holding back the development process, as it is performed manually for each patient. In this study, we propose an automatic chest area segmentation algorithm, that given an input set of 3D frames of a sleeping patient, outputs a segmentation image with the pixels that correspond to the chest area, and can then be used as an input to subsequent sleep analysis algorithms. Except for significantly speeding up the development process of the non-contact methods, accurate automatic segmentation can also enable a more precise feature extraction and it is shown it is already improving sensitivity of prior solutions on average 46.9% better compared to manual ROI selection. All mentioned will place the extraction algorithms of the non-contact methods as a leading candidate to replace the existing traditional methods used today.
