VISIOCPR: Monocular Vision-Based CPR Training System with Human-Computer Collaborative Feedback
High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) aims at saving lives in time-critical emergencies, which requires correct compression rate, depth, and hand placement. However, due to the high cost and environmental constraints of sensor-equipped manikins or dedicated hardware, it is unrealistic to deploy these devices in ordinary training settings. For monocular vision-based methods, estimating compression depth without direct depth signals and tracking hands under severe overlap are difficult. To address these problems, this paper proposes VISIOCPR, a monocular vision-based CPR training system with human-computer collaborative feedback, which provides quantitative CPR coaching using only a standard RGB camera. To address the inherent visual constraints, the system integrates a tiered compression-point detector that maintains robust tracking continuity despite severe hand overlap and motion blur. Furthermore, it recovers accurate metric depth without attached markers through a fused calibration scheme, which combines an empirical baseline, a reference-object measurement, and visible body proportions. A randomized controlled study (n=40) showed that participants trained with VISIOCPR achieved higher simultaneous compliance and reached competency faster than the control group under the tested setting.
