Introduction

This repository aims at computing the heart rate signal from RGB images. A Region of Interest (ROI) needs to be defined on the face region.

Dependencies

• MATLAB
• MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB Computer Vision Toolbox
• MATLAB Signal Processing Toolbox

Matlab is a scientific licensed software that may be used for data acquisition, processing, and computation. The software is available on the Matlab homepage. The Max Planck Digital Library provides Matlab licence for MPI staff: see this page from an MPI network. This license must be activated with a MathWorks Account linked to an MPI email address. The dependencies can be downloaded from the installer or the MATLAB software using the Adds-On button.

How to run

• Start Matlab and navigate to the project directory.
• Navigate to src/ directory.
  cd src
• Run the test1 Matlab script.
  test1
• The first video frame will popup; select the ROI to track.
• The running script will show the video with the selected bounding box.
• After processing the video, the heart rate will print out in the Matlab terminal.
