Abstract Background and Objective The imaging photoplethysmography method is a non-
contact and non-invasive measurement method that usually uses surrounding illumination …

This paper introduces a powerful filtering method that exploits the physiological and optical
properties of skin reflections to improve the performance of remote photoplethysmography …

Clinical applications of passive long-term heart rate (HR) monitoring in patients with cardiac
arrhythmias include adequate drug titration of atrioventricular (AV) nodal drugs and …

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a new emerging modality useful for the noncontact
assessment of free flap perfusion. This measurement technique relies on the optical …

Significance: The measurement of human vital signs based on photoplethysmography
imaging (PPGI) can be severely affected by the interference of various factors in the …

Video-based non-contact monitoring of cardiac conditions offers an attractive alternative to
contact-based monitoring using sensors attached to the skin. Specifically, video monitoring …

The extraction of heart rate and other vital parameters from video recordings of a person has
attracted much attention over the last years. In this paper, we examine time differences …

Videoplethysmography (VPG) is an emerging technology that uses a video camera to
capture subtle skin color variations caused by blood volume flow. VPG offers a seamless …

Noncontact heart rate monitoring that enables the detection of cardiac activity cycles with a
normal camera without cutaneous contact has broad application prospects. However, the …
