Study on Real-Time Heart Rate Detection Based on Multi-People.

Heart rate is an important vital characteristic which indicates physical and mental health status. Typically heart rate measurement instruments require direct contact with the skin which is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, the study of non-contact heart rate measurement methods is of great importance. Based on the principles of photoelectric volumetric tracing, we use a computer device and camera to capture facial images, accurately detect face regions, and to detect multiple facial images using a multi-target tracking algorithm. Then after the regional segmentation of the facial image, the signal acquisition of the region of interest is further resolved. Finally, frequency detection of the collected Photoplethysmography (PPG) and Electrocardiography (ECG) signals is completed with peak detection, Fourier analysis, and a Wavelet filter. The experimental results show that the subject's heart rate can be detected quickly and accurately even when monitoring multiple facial targets simultaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
