Abstract

This study aims to extract physiological information from facial images using remote photoplethysmography(rPPG), particularly heart rate, which is a critical indicator of various medical events. Existing signal processing-based rPPG algorithms and deep learning architectures have limitations in effectively processing facial video inputs under real-world conditions. To overcome these shortcomings,…
