Abstract: In the time of robotization, a programmed and non invasive instrument is required for everyday wellbeing checking. Heart beat is one of the imperative physiological parameters has drawn consideration of specialists for its measurement .In this article a methodology for cardiovascular heartbeat measurement, using a ordinary webcam is proposed. In the presented approach, face region is detected and RGB traces are found for the face region. Independent component analysis is used for the linear source separation of signals and the FFT is applied on the selected traces to calculate power spectrum of the individual traces and heart rate is estimated based on the emotion based measurement.
Keyword: ICA (Independent Component Analysis), RGB Splitter, ROI (Region of Interest, BPM (Beats Per Minute).
Scope of the Article: Measurement & Performance Analysis
