The invention relates to medicine and is intended to provide information about the psycho-physiological state of a living being. Get a picture of the object. Images are projected on the photodetector. Convert an object image into an electrical signal, said signal processing Produce. Signal processing includes obtaining vibraimage constructed on the basis of the frequency component of the vibration point of a living object. The method provides information on the psycho-physical state of a living being.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the fields of biometrics, electronics, medicine and psychology, and can be used to obtain psychophysiological information on living facilities and evaluation, monitoring and correction of a psychophysiological state of a person according to his vibraimage.

The first scientifically based assumptions about the inseparable connection between the psyche and human physiology were made in 1890-1895, the Sigmund Freud [1], the founder of analytical psychology. The notion that any change of mentality is inextricably linked with the corresponding physiological reaction of the organism is currently recognized, although this connection, the interface is not defined so far, and there are different approaches of its definition [2].

A number of specific contact methods, devices and systems produce an integrated psycho-physiological information about a person using the known physiological parameters of the human body for the assessment of his emotional, mental status, and medical diagnostics.

Most known class of systems that can be called "lie detectors", obtained using different channels to assess the physiological information changes psychophysiological (psychosomatic) human parameters in its response to certain external influence, especially the impact of speech [3]. Such an analysis of the human condition usually takes a few hours, is associated with a rigid mount sensors on the body of the subject and requires mandatory active participation qualified person conducting the test. All this greatly limits the ability of the mass application of such systems for the psychophysiological human diagnostics.

Known and highly informative pulse system used in ancient times in the east for medical diagnosis based on the results of measurements of the pulse wave at several points in the body. The modern system of registration of volumetric pulse [4] allows you to receive hundreds of thousands of samples of pulse waves in the tips of human fingers and accurately detect any change in the psycho-physiological state of a person.

These methods and systems are sufficiently informative in terms of the analysis of the general condition, however, require contact with the body of the sensor, which limits their use, and analysis of the integrated information obtained from the local place is quite complex.

Another group contact methods, devices and systems that can be called "aura visualizers" [5], [6], using physiological information derived from the arms [5] or the patient's fingers [7], for a conditional construction of the aura (integrated psycho-physiological characteristics human) around the patient. Of course, the electrical parameters of the skin palm or gas discharge glow around the fingers when Kirlian directly unrelated to the bioenergetic radiation of the whole body, but due to the large saturation hands and fingers nerve endings and correlate all human bodies, this information may indirectly reflect a real change psycho-physiological state of the human body. and the lack of contact methods is that the use of contact-state detector is technically impossible to carry out transparent to the test. A person who passes the contact psychophysiological testing, always aware of this, which imposes additional difficulties on the analysis of test results, as people who want to hide something, trying to hide information, and those who are in no way to blame, still experiencing anxiety and stress during testing. Approximately half of the sites on the Internet from the total number of dedicated detectors of lies, talk about how to fool a lie detector, and is known to a large number of cases in which it successfully managed.

Proximity detectors of the human condition can be monitored for psychophysiological state of man when he does not know about it and trying to conceal their condition, to avoid further problems and errors in the analysis and diagnosis of the state of man.

There is a method of non-contact information on the psychophysiological state of the object [8]. The method consists of converting the image object, including image projection of the object onto a photosensitive multielement device, the object image is converted into an electrical signal, which is a sequence of television frames, finding a frame difference of said sequence of frames and use the accumulated frame difference to obtain information about the object.

Device for implementing the method comprises a multi-element transducer and the photosensitive means accumulating frame difference formed on a single chip, and a means of analyzing and processing the image.

This method [8] taken by us as a prototype. The prototype allows non-contact real-time and transparent to the object of study (man) to obtain information about the psychophysiological state of man, but the information obtained is not always adequately reflect the change in the human condition. First of all, this is due to the fact that the accumulated frame difference reflects only the amplitude of the movement and not always correctly reflect the difference between the macro and micro movement of the object, ie, It complicates the analysis of objects, committing even minor movement in space, which reduces the sensitivity and reliability of the determination of the object of psycho-physiological parameters.

The invention solves the problem of reliable and accurate determination of the psycho-physiological state of the object.

The claimed method has high sensitivity and reliability and provides information on the psychophysiological state of the research object, especially a human, with a special image, called the authors "vibraimage".

The problem is solved by the fact that in the known method of obtaining information about the psycho-physiological state of a living object by transforming the image of the object, which includes the projection of the image on the photodetector, the object image is converted into an electrical signal, the subsequent processing of said signal and obtaining information about the psycho-physiological state of a living object on the basis of the results of its processing, signal processing includes receiving vibraimage constructed by measuring the vibration frequency component points of a living object.

In another embodiment, the invention vibraimage displayed around the real object image obtained in the processing of said signal.

In a further embodiment of the invention when constructing vibraimage measured frequency values ​​of the data points are tied to committing movement.

In a further embodiment of the invention vibraimage obtained using a color scale.

In another embodiment, the invention vibraimage obtained using a color scale corresponding to the curve of the visibility of human eyes.

In a further embodiment of the invention is prepared vibraimage constructed by measuring the vibration frequency component points of the living object and display it simultaneously vibraimage constructed on the basis of the measured amplitude component.

In a further embodiment vibraimage invention are prepared using a device comprising a photosensitive multielement transducer to the output of which is connected to means for processing the image signal, wherein the means for image signal processing includes a processor configured to determine the frequency and displacement of pixels amplitude living object to construct it vibraimage.

It is known that in elementary particle physics, there is no clear boundary between the wave and corpuscular properties of matter and energy of the photon related to its frequency by Planck's constant = h . The assumption of the unity of the physical and biological world allows to hypothesize that in the world of living beings have similar laws and the energy emitted by each point of a living organism, is proportional to the oscillation frequency of a given point in space. Consequently, for the registration of energy emitted by the biological object, you must register the vibrations of its points (in space or relative to each other), that can be done with contactless television systems with sufficient resolution and speed, and the frequency component is obtained vibraimage (ie . frequency vibration (displacement fluctuation) of each point of the living object) is the most information in the bio-energetic, and therefore the psycho-physiological characteristics of the observed living object. Analysis can be obtained vibraimage both human and mathematically using software processing acquired digital vibraimage and / or its components. To compile the mathematical algorithms and analysis it is advisable to submit vibraimage in a form suitable for visual analysis, such as a pseudocolor image on the monitor screen.

The authors experimentally found that the resulting vibraimage and especially its frequency component is provided in the form of vibraimage around the object enables to characterize the psycho-physiological state of a person is stable and clear, the level of his emotional state, to distinguish between changes in the human condition in different influences on him, but also offered a visual options for registration and the resulting output vibraimage.

It turned out that the ancient image of the human bioenergy field in the form of aura, located around the body, allows for visual assessment of psychophysiological state more quickly and accurately than other display. A long-standing use of the term in a non-scientific literature aura creates certain problems for its technical perception, therefore, the authors believe the right to use a new term - vibraimage to characterize the psycho-physiological state of a living object instead of the term aura, subject to varying interpretations.

The emotional state of a person can change rather quickly, almost in a split second, an ordinary person can not be in the same state for a long time. Any thought, movement or perception of events lead to a specific change in the human condition, therefore, it is important to record the instantaneous change in the human condition (each vibraimage frame), and the need to seek a balance between the amount of information (especially resolution camera) received vibraimage and system performance.

Given the complexity of the perception of terms such as "amplitude component vibraimage having topological bind to the corresponding image points of the usual," the authors suggest the use of the term "internal vibraimage" or simply "vibraimage" instead of the above phrases. Instead of the term "frequency component vibraimage located around the normal image", to use the term "external vibraimage".

External displays vibraimage vibraimage frequency component and can be displayed simultaneously with the internal vibraimage reflecting its amplitude component, but also include information and an amplitude component vibraimage.

The color modulation of the maximum frequency of vibration of the object, supplemented by external amplitude modulation size vibraimage average value of the frequency or amplitude of movements in a certain area of ​​the body, allows you to visualize and instantly fix any deviation in the psychophysiological state of man. It is known that the brain fractal fluctuations play an important role in learning processes, memory and solve different problems [2]. It was established experimentally that the most intense vibration makes it a human head and, in most cases, the frequency component vibraimage located just around the man's head and / or significantly higher than that around the human body. The change in the condition of man is manifested in the form of certain failures in vibraimage, the asymmetry of colors and shapes in the resulting external vibraimage.

Topological vibraimage binding elements to the elements of the real image has both pluses and minuses. It was established experimentally that the most informative emotional state passed the maximum vibration frequency and the average frequency level or background level points adjacent to grease and can hide the true state of human visual perception when vibraimage. Therefore, topological binding frequency component vibraimage real internal image appeared to be less effective than the display of the frequency component in the form of external vibraimage vibraimage located around the actual image. In topological binding vibraimage frequency component to the real image elements with a maximum frequency of vibration are practically invisible against the background of internal modulation at tsvetochastotnoy vibraimage and to practice different variants of mathematical analysis vibraimage necessary preliminary visual inspection of the resulting vibraimage. Proposed by the authors display frequency component vibraimage around real image corresponds to the physical meaning of bioenergy radiation and allows you to visually monitor and analyze the state of the object.

In contrast to the use of the frequency component of the amplitude component is effective in vibraimage piecemeal topological binding. First of all topologically attached to the vibration amplitude points vibraimage component allows you to evaluate the quality of the vibraimage and install the right system settings. In contrast to the instantly changing the human condition and the significant differences that can be observed between the individual frames vibraimage accumulated over time histogram frequency component vibraimage quite stable and integrally reflects the state of a person for a given time. It was found that the mathematical parameters of the distribution (M - expectation, D - dispersion) are stable enough, if not is extraneous influence on the person. However, the real change in the human condition parameters of the frequency component storage vibraimage vary significantly. Therefore, said technique can be successfully applied for the registration of static (long-term) changes in the human body, for example, with medical treatment or medical exposure to pathogens.

Carried by this time of the study did not reveal a clear correlation between the different parameters of vibration (eg, phase) and psychophysiological parameters, but the authors do not exclude the preparation of these dependencies in further studies.

Since obtained using the present invention vibraimage person is new, the author considers one of its main objectives the creation of the primary principles of the registration of the image in order to further vibraimage could be used to obtain adequate characteristics of human physiological parameters.

The inventive method allows to get several options for new images, each in its own informative.

For vibraimage and its use can be used as a standard hardware, to create new and special devices and systems.

Applications of the process information on the psychophysiological state of a living object can be varied, for example, for contactless psychophysiological assessment of his condition, the level of aggression, to identify people that are configured to commit illegal acts or acts of terrorism.

A system based on this method can be used to correct the state of a person due to the effect on him with the help of other factors (words, medications, radiation, etc.) And the implementation of feedback control by a person in his psychophysiological state vibraimage.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Consider the example of a device constructed on the basis of a cell phone with a digital camera.

This device includes the following main components:

1 - electronic unit phone consisting of a receiver and a radio transmitter and transducer - signal and - sound

2 - digital camera with a lens for projecting the image of the object on a photosensitive device

3 - a memory for storing the received digital photos,

4 - Display for visualization of text and photos,

5 - processor to control the listed blocks and synchronization of their work,

6 - the phone housing with keyboard, power supply and other elements..

Operation is as follows. An optical object image projected on the photosensitive device (2) is converted into a digital signal which is sent frame by frame in the memory unit (3). The processor (5) analyzes changes in frames, and determines the frequency and amplitude of movement for all image points, conducting vibraimage accumulation and display it on the display (4) as a pseudocolor image of the object. Depending on the settings in the menu the user can adjust vibraimage settings manually using the keypad located on the housing (6), or set the automatic mode. Simulated vibraimage on the mobile phone screen is shown in Figure 6a.

Naturally, the design of the device is not limited to the above block diagram. Possible embodiment of the device with logical decisions arising from the prior art example implementation of the device is not in the cell phone body (5), a digital camera or a computer with a web camera.

Here is an example of a particular implementation of the invention as claimed in the preparation of frequency component vibraimage and internal vibraimage (vibraimage amplitude component) of the human face.

As a television camera using a digital television camera type Genius VideoCam Web with photosensitive CMOS device with a number of photosensitive elements 640 x 480 that is connected to the USB port of the computer Toshiba Satellite P25 - S609. As visualization software vibraimage use Aura program - VibraImage, designed to "Elsis" company [9]. This program provides registration of vibration parameters of each point of the image and the output of the aura and vibraimage on the screen, store received vibraimage and aura files to avi and bmp format, parameter calculation vibraimage of individual fragments, the elements and the full frame, but also the accumulation parameters vibraimage over time and comparing vibraimage parameters for different time intervals. The program allows you to select and set the known methods of calculation of vibration parameters on the basis of the analysis of the frame difference [8], with the help of the Fourier transform [10], or when measuring the movement of the center of mass [2, 11], but also to introduce various filtering techniques that reduce the impact of noise and non-uniformity of illumination on the quality vibraimage. Under normal ambient light (100-1000 lux) and in the presence of one person in the center of the frame, this imaging system vibraimage provides processing and output to the monitor vibraimages 10-11 frames per second.

Getting information about the object of study is as follows:

We have our object of study (man) (7) in front of a television camera (8) at a distance of about 1 m, so that the real image of the person displayed on the screen, it would be large enough. We set up the camera focus on the man, projecting his image onto CMOS matrix, and turn the camera so that the image of a man was in the center of the screen. For one vibraimage in the setup menu set the marker to position vibraimage (8). In this case, the screen displays only an amplitude component vibraimage, coordinate tied to the real image.

For the frequency component of the amplitude component of the around vibraimage vibraimage marker is set to the aura / vibraimage, and the software displays the external vibraimage around the inner vibraimage (Figure 1). Upon receipt of the outer vibraimage around the inner vibraimage determine the psychophysiological state of the object. Based on historical data, for example, human image in Figure 3 refers to normal human because its external vibraimage quite symmetrical in shape and color and colors represented the middle of the selected color scale (the predominant color - green). After exposure (showing scenes of violence on the screen) color external vibraimage the same man changed into a red, and the resulting image (Figure 4) conclude that a person is under stress.

Selecting a color scale, simulating external or internal vibraimage, can be arbitrary. The authors believe that the natural colors that match the visibility eye curve, pending on the horizontal axis (5), most clearly characterized as external and internal vibraimage.

the marker is set to the aura on the real and the external vibraimage is displayed around the real image of the object (2) For external vibraimage around the real image.

The software allows for the temporary accumulation of external vibraimage (frequency component vibraimage) and display it in a histogram of the frequency distribution of density. When you press the F10 key is carried out temporary accumulation of external vibraimage for 10 seconds, and when you press the F11 key until the accumulation is performed repeatedly pressing the F11 key. The arithmetic difference between the two states at the request of histograms displayed on the bottom of the histogram. The histogram shown in Figure 5 (a) shows a typical frequency distribution for human normal operating state. Studies have shown that in the quiescent state for most people is usually close to the frequency distribution of unimodal normal distribution law. When exposed to certain negative factors, such as viewing violence on the screen, change the state of human 5 (b), and in a state of fear, stress and aggression is a shift average value of the frequency distribution (M) in the direction of increasing frequency. In a quiet comfortable state of the average value of the frequency distribution (M) is shifted in the direction of decreasing frequency. Frequency axis (x) it may be expressed in relative units, and in real time or frequency units (Hz or s). The distance between samples is determined by the parameters of the real speed of the computer, the television camera and software settings (time of accumulation and the number of frames processed in sequence). The algorithm (see. Figure 9) encodes a vibraimage frequency component (color) and the amplitude component (size). Initially, the program determines a moving (vibrating) human contour line by then divides it into two equal parts (left and right), then in each half of the line is determined by the point of maximum vibration frequency, which determines the color of the horizontal line of the external vibraimage. The average amplitude of the movement in each half of the selected contour line defines the size (length) of the external vibraimage. The resulting vibraimage at every point, of course, has a probabilistic and statistical nature, but an integral vibraimage linked quite clearly to human physiological parameters. This software and the system allows to visualize the flat, two-dimensional vibraimage that, in principle, sufficient for the analysis of physiological parameters. This of course also possible to build a three-dimensional (or two-dimensional on other algorithm, for example, radial), surround vibraimage with the implementation of the calculation of the external vibraimage by the formula E = kf (where E - the energy emitted by each point of the living organism; f - frequency of oscillation given point in space , k - proportionality factor) for each point of the image of man, which, however, requires a lot of computer resources. Of course, it is possible to build software and vibraimage different colors and shapes, because vibraimage this mapping parameters (components) of the object vibration by an image and an algorithm of such a map can be anything, the main thing that obtained vibraimage clearly and adequately convey the real physiological properties of the object.

Studies have shown that there is a correlation between the maximum frequency rhythms derived from the EEG and vibraimage, and if upon receipt vibraimage no hardware limitations (frame processing rate of more than 20 Hz), the normal state of human corresponds to a frequency of 5-10 Hz vibraimage.

Availability promptly incoming information about the state of the body by allowing the feedback to adjust certain effects on the human body. In one embodiment of the system of the human exposure could be provided in the form of pictures of images displayed on the monitor, the frequency shift of images can be low (below 20 Hz) to conscious perception (7) and higher (higher than 25 Hz ) to influence the subconscious. In various embodiments, images (images) can be selected depending on changes in the external and internal vibraimage to determine the state of a person, similar to a lie detector.

In another embodiment, the system is an inverse relationship between man and the external vibraimage when a person alone trying to normalize or improve their external vibraimage watching the changes taking place with him. Such a system "aurotherapy" psychologists can be used when working with patients and allows you to control the treatment process or change the status of the patients with the help of advanced technology.

The resulting primary vibraimage same as the other known types of images, such as a visible color image, the thermal image and the X-ray image. However, unlike these known images vibraimage belongs only to live (moving) objects, which makes the proposed method irreplaceable in the contactless research people, first of all to determine their psychological state for the control and safety systems, but also for medical and educational purposes. The relative ease of obtaining technical vibraimage can make these images the same or even more popular than the usual color, because they are new, invisible usual eye of the person information. It becomes possible to further equip the function of receiving and analyzing the existing mass vibraimage photoelectric products: digital cameras, cell phones and computers, which will extend the functionality of these devices possible.
