NeuroKinect4K: A Novel 4K RGB-D-IR Video System with 3D Scene Reconstruction for Enhanced Epileptic Seizure Semiology...

Epileptic seizures are clearly characterized by their displayed behavior, the semiology, which is used in diagnosis and classification as a base for therapy. This article presents a novel 4K 3D video recording and reviewing system for epilepsy monitoring, introducing a novel perspective and allowing continuous recording and review of 3D videos in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU), providing significantly more detail than the current clinical systems, which can lead to the recognition of more Movements of Interest (MOIs) and may reduce inter-rater variability. To put the system to an initial test in clinical practice the article presents three real-world examples of subtle MOIs, that could only be appreciated on the 4K-video, but not on the VGA-video, recorded as part of the clinical routine. In conclusion, a 4K-RGB recording, 3D cropping, and 3D video playing system was developed, implemented, and tested for realworld clinical scenarios, considering the specific requirements of clinical monitoring in EMUs. The new data acquisition setup can support clinical diagnosis, which may lead to new insights in the field of epilepsy and the development of AI approaches in the future.
