1. A method for determining a ciliary beat frequency based on a video of ciliary movement, the video containing a series of consecutive frames, the method comprising steps of:
determining a frame rate of the video and a video resolution of the video;
selecting, based on the frame rate, N number of frames from the series of consecutive frames of the video, where N is a positive integer greater than one;
performing image denoising on the N number of frames to obtain N number of denoised images, respectively, each of the N number of denoised images having a resolution equal to the video resolution;
determining a plurality of target positions that respectively correspond to a plurality of ciliary beat patterns, wherein, for every N number of commonly-located pixels respectively of the N number of denoised images, when it is determined that N number of grayscale values respectively of the N number of commonly-located pixels are not the same, a position of the N number of commonly-located pixels is determined as one of the target positions, and the N number of grayscale values of the N number of commonly-located pixels at said one of the target positions represent the respective one of the plurality of ciliary beat patterns;
for each of the ciliary beat patterns, determining peak values among the N number of grayscale values; and
for each of the ciliary beat patterns, determining a ciliary beat frequency based on the peak values thus determined.
