Non-contact, synchronous dynamic measurement of respiratory rate and heart rate based on dual sensitive regions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, many imaging photoplethysmography (IPPG) researches have reported non-contact measurements of physiological parameters, such as heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), etc. However, it is accepted that only HR measurement has been mature for applications, and other estimations are relatively incapable for reliable applications. Thus, it is worth keeping on persistent studies. Besides, there are some issues commonly involved in these approaches need to be explored further. For example, motion artifact attenuation, an intractable problem, which is being attempted to be resolved by sophisticated video tracking and detection algorithms.

Methods

This paper proposed a blind source separation-based method that could synchronously measure RR and HR in non-conta
