Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is an innovative method for monitoring heart rate and vital signs by using a simple camera to record a person, as long as any part of their skin is visible. This low-cost, contactless approach helps in…
Body sounds provide rich information about the state of the human body and can be useful in many medical applications. Auscultation, the practice of listening to body sounds, has been used for centuries in respiratory and cardiac medicine…
We focus on various measures of the fluctuations of the sequence of intervals between beats of the human heart, and how such fluctuations can be used to assess the presence or likelihood of cardiovascular disease. We examine sixteen such…
This report introduces VitalLens 2.0, a new deep learning model for estimating physiological signals from face video. This new model demonstrates a significant leap in accuracy for remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), enabling the robust…
A novel approach for analysing cardiac rhythm data is presented in this paper. Heartbeats are decomposed into the five fundamental $P$, $Q$, $R$, $S$ and $T$ waves plus an error term to account for artefacts in the data which provides a…
We introduce a novel method that combines differential geometry, kernels smoothing, and spectral analysis to quantify facial muscle activity from widely accessible video recordings, such as those captured on personal smartphones. Our…
We propose an end-to-end framework to measure people's vital signs including Heart Rate (HR), Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) and Blood Pressure (BP) based on the rPPG methodology from the video of a user's face…
Animal Assisted Interventions (AAIs) involve pleasant interactions between humans and animals and can potentially benefit both types of participants. Research in this field may help to uncover universal insights about cross-species bonding,…
Efficient face detection is critical to provide natural human-robot interactions. However, computer vision tends to involve a large computational load due to the amount of data (i.e. pixels) that needs to be processed in a short amount of…
