ABSTRACT
Camera-based physiological measurement enables vital signs to be captured unobtrusively without contact with the body. Remote, or imaging, photoplethysmography involves recovering peripheral blood flow from subtle variations in video pixel intensities. While the pulse signal might be easy to obtain from high quality uncompressed videos, the signal-to-noise ratio drops dramatically with video bitrate. Uncompressed videos incur large file storage and data transfer costs, making analysis, manipulation and sharing challenging. To help address these challenges, we use compression specific supervised models to mitigate the effect of temporal video compression on heart rate estimates. We perform a systematic evaluation of the performance of state-of-the-art algorithms across different levels, and formats, of compression. We demonstrate that networks trained on compressed videos consistently outperform other benchmark methods, both on stationary videos and videos with significant rigid head motions. By training on videos with the same, or higher compression factor than test videos, we achieve improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of up to 3 dB and mean absolute error (MAE) of up to 6 beats per minute (BPM).
