Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements in Remote Cardiopulmonary Measurement Using a Five Band Digital Camera
TL;DR: Results of PPG measurements from a novel five band camera are presented and it is shown that alternate frequency bands, in particular an orange band, allowed physiological measurements much more highly correlated with an FDA approved contact PPG sensor.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Remote measurement of cognitive stress via heart rate variability.
TL;DR: A person-independent classifier was built to predict cognitive stress based on the remotely detected physiological parameters (heart rate, breathing rate and heart rate variability) and the accuracy of the model was 85% (35% greater than chance).
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote Detection of Photoplethysmographic Systolic and Diastolic Peaks Using a Digital Camera
TL;DR: A new method for measuring photoplethysmogram signals remotely using ambient light and a digital camera that allows for accurate recovery of the waveform morphology is presented and the peak-to-peak time between the systolic peak and diastolic peak/inflection can be automatically recovered using the second-order derivative of the remotely measured waveform.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
COGCAM: Contact-free Measurement of Cognitive Stress During Computer Tasks with a Digital Camera
TL;DR: A participant-independent cognitive stress recognition model is built based on photoplethysmographic signals measured remotely at a distance of 3 meters, which successfully detected increased stress during the tasks, which were consistent with self-report measures.

Methods and apparatus for physiological measurement using color band photoplethysmographic sensor
TL;DR: In this paper, a photoplethysmographic device measures variations of light that is reflected from, or transmitted through, human skin, and a computer analyzes the sensor data, in order to estimate a cardiac blood volume pulse wave.
