An Open Framework for Remote-PPG Methods and their Assessment
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for studying methods of pulse rate estimation relying on remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). There has been a remarkable development of rPPG techniques in recent years, and the publication of several surveys too, yet a sound assessment of their performance has been overlooked at best, whether not undeveloped...
The methodological rationale behind the framework we propose is that in order to study, develop and compare new rPPG methods in a principled and reproducible way, the following conditions should be met: i) a structured pipeline to monitor rPPG algorithms’ input, output, and main
