Advancing videometry through applications: quantification of neonatal seizures from video recordings

This paper presents some recent advances in videometry that resulted from the development of video processing and analysis procedures designed to facilitate the quantification of neonatal seizures. This paper presents two automated procedures developed to extract temporal information from video recordings of neonatal seizures in the form of temporal motion strength and motor activity signals. These signals constitute an effective representation of videotaped clinical events and can be used in the development of an intelligent system for seizure recognition and characterization.
