Abstract
Thermal comfort during sleep is essential for both sleep quality and human health while sleeping. There are currently few effective contactless methods for detecting the sleep thermal comfort at any time of day or night. In this paper, a vision-based detection approach for human thermal comfort while sleeping was proposed, which is intended to avoid overcooling/overheating supply, meet the thermal comfort needs of human sleep, and improve human sleep quality and health. Based on 438 valid questionnaire surveys, 10 types of thermal comfort sleep postures were summarized. By using a large number of data captured, a fundamental framework of detection algorithm was constructed to detect human sleeping postures, and corresponding weighting model was established. A total of 2.65 million frames of posture data in natural sleep status were collected, and thermal comfort-related sleep postures dataset was created. Finally, the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm were validated. The validation results show that the sleeping posture and human skeleton keypoints can be used for estimating sleeping thermal comfort, and the the quilt coverage area can be fused to improve the detection accuracy.
