Summary

Video-based physiological signal estimation has been limited primarily to predicting episodic scores in windowed intervals. While these intermittent values are useful, they provide an incomplete picture of patients' physiological status and may lead to late detection of critical conditions. We propose a video Transformer for estimating instantaneous heart rate and respiration rate from face videos. Physiological signals are typically confounded by alignment errors in space and time. To overcome this, we formulated the loss in the frequency domain.

Code

In this work, we followed the below folder structure,

Instantaneous_Transformer
  |- code/inst_transformer
  |     |- dataloader.py
  |     |- globals.py
  |     |- main.py
  |     |- ...
  |
  |- data/
  |     |- Training/
  |     |- Validation/
  |     | ...
  |- weights/
  |- summaries/

Navigate into code/inst_transformer and run python main.py --args. See below for list of arguments.

1. python main.py --name vid_tra_1 --seqlen 100 --gpu 0 --phys HR
2. python main.py --name vid_tra_2 --seqlen 1000 --gpu 0 --phys RR --batch_size 4 --numlayer 1

The loss plots should be saved in summaries folder.

Training curves

The loss plots will look like below:
