Development of a noncontact and long-term respiration monitoring system using microwave radar for hibernating black bear

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.20229.abs The aim of this study is to develop a prototype system for noncontact, noninvasive and unconstrained vital sign monitoring using microwave radar and to use the system to measure the respiratory rate of a Japanese black bear (Ursus thibetanus japonicus) during hibernation for ensuring the bear’s safety. Ueno Zoological Gardens in Tokyo planned […]
