Blood Pulsation Intensity Video Mapping

In this study, we make non-invasive, remote, passive measurements of the heart beat frequency and determine the map of blood pulsation intensity in a region of interest (ROI) of skin. The ROI used was the forearm of a volunteer. The method employs a regular video camera and visible light, and the video acquisition takes less than 1 minute. The mean cardiac frequency found in our volunteer was within 1 bpm of the ground-truth value simultaneously obtained via earlobe plethysmography. Using the signals extracted from the video images, we have determined an intensity map for the blood pulsation at the surface of the skin. In this paper we present the experimental and data processing details of the work and well as limitations of the technique. ----------------------------------------- Neste estudo medimos a frequência cardíaca de forma não invasiva, remota e passiva e determinamos o mapa da atividade de pulsação sanguínea numa região de interesse (ROI) da pele. A ROI utilizada foi o antebraço de um voluntário. O método utiliza uma câmara de vídeo comum e luz visível como processo de aquisição do vídeo durando menos de 1 minuto. A frequência cardíaca média encontrada tem erro em torno de 1 batimento por minuto em relação a uma medida simultânea usando fotopletismografia de lóbulo de orelha. A partir dos sinais extraídos das imagens de vídeo, determinamos um mapa da intensidade da pulsação sanguínea na superfície da pele. Apresentamos detalhes experimentais e de processamento dos sinais, assim como limitações da técnica.
