Abstract

In this paper, we developed a contactless method to estimate human subjects' heart rates using a magnification of video sequences. Existing methods based on the Eulerian video magnification (EVM) technique are severely affected by motion (i.e., object movements). The proposed method can consider both scenarios of still and moving subjects to magnify the skin color changes over time. In the proposed method, we employed a wavelet decomposition process along with a denoising layer based on principal component analysis (PCA). PCA smoothed the frames and reduced the noise due to high-frequency fluctuations caused by motion (i.e., unwanted source of color changes in the skin). Finally, the video data was magnified to extract the heart rate information. As a result, subtle changes caused by blood flow were made clearly visible to the naked eye. We compared the heart rate estimation results obtained through our proposed method with the results produced by linear EVM. The experimental results indicate an improvement in the heart rate estimation accuracy in the presence of motion using the proposed method.
用小波变换和主成分分析降低运动对视频放大的影响
在本文中,我们开发了一种非接触式方法,利用视频序列的放大来估计人类受试者的心率。现有的基于欧拉视频放大(EVM)技术的方法受到运动(即物体运动)的严重影响。该方法可以同时考虑静止和运动两种场景,以放大皮肤颜色随时间的变化。在该方法中,我们采用了小波分解过程和基于主成分分析(PCA)的去噪层。PCA平滑帧并减少由运动引起的高频波动引起的噪声(即皮肤中不必要的颜色变化源)。最后,对视频数据进行放大,提取心率信息。结果,血液流动引起的细微变化可以用肉眼清楚地看到。我们将该方法得到的心率估计结果与线性EVM方法得到的结果进行了比较。实验结果表明,该方法提高了运动状态下的心率估计精度。
