Key result
A proposed non-contact heart rate estimation system using a webcam and Eulerian Video Magnification Algorithm aims to provide low-cost, highly efficient cardiovascular monitoring.
Why the study?
Heart rate is a key indicator of cardiovascular status, but there is a need for low-cost, non-contact methods that provide accurate results more quickly than traditional techniques.
A proposed non-contact webcam-based system using Eulerian Video Magnification offers a low-cost method for heart rate estimation with potential utility in telemedicine.
Heart rate estimation is the most used indicator in clinical medicine for determining how well the cardiovascular system is functioning. Human heart rate is a key indicator of physiological health and a measure of cardiovascular status. Due to its many advantages like now-cost, non-contact and the ability to produce accurate results in a shorter amount of time as compared to most of the traditional techniques, this method is attracting more scholars for further studies. Our proposed system aims to build a non-contact heart rate estimation and detection system using a simple web-camera. In this system, the subject has to place their face in front of a web-camera and our software will detect the face, find the region of interest (ROI) and determine the user’s heart rate. Once the ROI is established, it calculates the estimated heart rate of highest accuracy using the Eulerian Video Magnification Algorithm. The system being low cost, having very less requirement and highly efficient, it can play a very vital role in the health care and telemedicine industries.
