Abstract

Heart Rate, also known as pulse, is the number of times a person’s heart beats per minute (bpm). There are several methods in which the human heart rate can be obtained without any contact to the body. This is specifically accurate if it could be prepared spending economical tools such as consumer-grade cameras. Various research and investigates have been achieved in current ages to aid consistently conclude the heart rate from video footage of a person. This paper also presents a real time HR monitoring method using a webcam of a laptop/computer. The heart rate is obtained through facial skin color variation caused by blood circulation. The approaches have taken an investigation method which comprises sequential filtering and occurrence spectrum investigation. Substitute approaches hired from further fields are also presented to find if they have distinction in remote heart rate recognition.
