Panasonic to Commercialize Heartrate Rate Extraction from Video
Nikkei: Panasonic exhibits a technology to accurately measure the heart rate of a person on video.The companys Contactless Vital Sensing utilizes the change of skin's light reflectance caused by blood. The reflectance changes with the contraction of blood vessels caused by heartbeat.

Can this method work under changing environment such as car cabine?
ReplyDeleteThe computer science community has shown this sort of thing for several years at least. I have seen some great demos in the context of fake video vs. authentic video forensics. Maybe it is the commercialization that is new.
ReplyDeleteCommercialization is not new too. Microsoft Kinect used to have this feature for many years.
DeleteFujitsu too talked about the commercialization a few years ago, not sure if they have done it:

If you do at different wavelengths, you could even measure values like oxygen saturation of the blood. Some of the nice fitness wearables do it similarily.
