Heart rate estimation network from facial videos using spatiotemporal feature image.

Remote health monitoring has become quite inevitable after SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and continues to be accepted as a measure of healthcare in future too. However, contact-less measurement of vital sign, like Heart Rate(HR) is quite difficult to measure because, the amplitude of physiological signal is very weak and can be easily degraded due to noise. The various sources of noise are head movements, variation in illumination or acquisition devices.
