Abstract
Abstract

In this paper, we propose a noise-robust pulse wave estimation method from NIR video. Pulse wave estimation in the near-infrared region is expected to be applied to non-contact monitoring in dark areas. Conventional method cannot consider noise when performing estimation, so the accuracy of pulse wave estimation in noisy environment is not very high. This may adversely affect the accuracy of heart rate and other data obtained from pulse waves. Therefore, the objective of this study is to perform pulse wave estimation robust to noise. The Wiener estimation method was used in this study. The Wiener estimation method is a simple linear computation that can consider noise. The proposed method is expected to enable non-contact and accurate estimation of pulse wave from near-infrared video images. Experimental results show that the proposed method estimates the pulse wave more robustly to noise than the conventional method. Furthermore, the heart rate was estimated from the estimated pulse wave and the proposed method was able to obtain a value closer to the ground truth.
