Estimating SpO with Deep Oxygen Desaturations from Facial Video Under Various Lighting Conditions: A Feasibility Study.

This paper presents a feasibility study to collect data, process signals, and validate accuracy of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO) estimation from facial video in various lighting conditions. We collected facial videos using RGB camera, without auto-tuning, from subjects when they were breathing through a mouth tube with their nose clipped. The videos were record under four lighting conditions: warm color temperature and normal brightness, neutral color temperature and normal brightness, cool color temperature and normal brightness, neutral color temperature and dim brightness.

Contactless Monitoring of Respiratory Rate and Breathing Absence from Head Movements Using an RGB Camera.

Contactless vital sign monitoring is more demanding for long-term, continuous, and unobtrusive measurements. Camera-based respiratory monitoring is receiving growing interest with advanced video technologies and computational power. The volume variations of the lungs for airflow changes create a periodic movement of the torso, but identifying the torso is more challenging than face detection in a video.

Enhanced Contactless Heart Rate Monitoring Using Camera with Motion Artifact Removal During Physical Activities.

Contactless monitoring of heart rate (HR) can improve passive and continuous tracking of cardiovascular activities and overall people's health. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) using a camera eliminates the need for a wearable device. rPPG-based HR has shown promising results to be accurate and comparable to conventional methods such as contact PPG.

Motion- Based Respiratory Rate Estimation with Motion Artifact Removal Using Video of Face and Upper Body.

Respiratory rate (RR) is a significant indicator of health conditions. Remote contactless measurement of RR is gaining popularity with recent respiratory tract infection awareness. Among various methods of contactless RR measurement, a video of an individual can be used to obtain an instantaneous RR.
