RPPG-BPM

This is a project for diploma (graduate work)

It is dedicated to calculating heart rate value from a video recording with a person’s face

The input data are the average values of RGB-channels of face area

The pulse calculation procedure consists of two steps:

1. calculating a one-dimensional rppg-signal that contains a pulse
2. calculation of beats per minute

Methods for first stage:

• CHROM (Chrominance-based method)
• POS (Plane-Orthogonal-to-Skin method)
• ICA (Independent Component Analysis)

Methods for second stage:

• interbeats analysis
• fourier analysis
• wavelet analysis

Required libraries:

• numpy
• matplotlib
• pandas
• scipy
• sklearn
• PyWavelets
