Project DetailsThis works main goal is to create a demo system that estimates a subject's heart rate in real time by observing changes in light reflection from his skin. The system must be able to do so using a regular RGB camera. The heart rate estimation is based on a PPG (PhotoPlethysmoGraphy) signal, remotely extracted using the camera and digital signal processing. We have created such a system, which operates on a standard laptop using its built-in webcam or any other external camera connected to it. The median of the mean absolute error across the videos in UBFC-rPPG dataset that was achieved by our system is 3.8%.
