This project provides a non-contact and real-time method to measure heart rate using RGB camera. Based on the principal of light absorbance of blood, subtle variation in the facial color will be collected and processed to give heart rate in real time.
A performance comparison has been made to compare between the application and a professional heart rate device (Compact 5 by Econet). Error rate is +/- 2 beat per minute in the good illumination condition.
