Abstract
Heart rate is a crucial indicator of people’s physiological state. Patients, who are in need of regular check-ups, find the existing modes of electrode-based and probe-based monitoring inconvenient and uncomfortable. To eliminate this inconvenience and provide a comfortable monitoring environment for the patients, the non-contact heart rate monitoring is introduced. Latest research has proposed numerous methodologies for the non-contact detection of heart rate (HR) based on subtle color changes of the face due to cardiovascular activities, which are invisible to human eyes but can be captured by digital cameras. We propose a framework which utilizes ICA algorithms and power spectral analysis. It works well on stationary subjects under well controlled conditions, but the performance slightly degrades if the videos are recorded under more challenging conditions, specifically when subjects’ motions and illumination variations are involved.
