A lock-in technique for extraction of pulse rates and
associated confidence levels from video
Posted on 2018-05-18 - 15:21
We investigate the practical applicability of video photoplethysmography (VPPG) to extract heart rates of subjects
using non-contact color video recordings of human faces collected under typical indoor laboratory conditions using
commercial video cameras. Videos were processed following three previously described simple VPPG algorithms to produce
a time-varying plethysmographic signal. These time-signals were then analyzed using a novel, lock-in algorithm that was
developed to extract the pulsatile frequency component. A protocol to associate confidence estimates for the extracted heart
rates for each video stream is presented. Results indicate that the difference between heart-rates extracted using the lock-in
technique and gold-standard measurements, for videos with high-confidence metrics, were less than 4 beats per minute.
Constraints on video acquisition and processing including natural subject motion and the total duration of video recorded
required for evaluating these confidence metrics are discussed.
