Continuous Distant Measurement of the User’s Heart Rate in Human-Computer Interaction Applications

In real world scenarios, the task of estimating heart rate (HR) using video plethysmography (VPG) methods is difficult because many factors could contaminate the pulse signal (i.e. a subjects’ movement, illumination changes). This article presents the evaluation of a VPG system designed for continuous monitoring of the user's heart rate during typical human-computer interaction scenarios. The impact of human activities while working at the...
