Abstract
Techniques disclosed herein relate to automatic pan-tilt-zoom adjustment to improve vital sign acquisition. In various embodiments, a vital sign acquisition camera () operable to pan, tilt, and zoom ('PTZ') may capture () an image of a patient (). The image may be analyzed () to detect a depicted position of the patient within an image coordinate space of the image. A desired position of the patient within the image coordinate space of the image may determined (), and a difference in the image coordinate space between the depicted position and the desired position may be calculated (). The difference may then be mapped () from the image coordinate space to a PTZ space. One or more PTZ parameters of the vital sign acquisition camera may be altered () based on the mapping. After altering the one or more PTZ parameters, the vital sign acquisition camera may acquire () one or more vital signs from the patient.
