Abstract

In this paper, we design a heart rate measurement system using a web camera. In order to measure the heart rate, face image information is acquired and classified. The face image data is collected from web camera. The heart rate is measured using the collected face image data. We design a function to measure heart rate using input of face information using a web camera in non-contact manner. We design a function that reads face information and estimates heart rate by analyzing face color. An experiment was performed to compare the non-contact heart rate with the actual measured heart rate. The heart rate measurement system using a web camera proposed in this paper is a technology that can be used in various fields. It will be used in sports fields that require heart rate measurement at a low cost.
