Contactless Vital Sign Monitoring System for Heart and Respiratory Rate Measurements with Motion Compensation Using a Near-Infrared Time-of-Flight Camera

This study describes a contactless vital sign monitoring (CVSM) system capable of measuring heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR) using a low-power, indirect time-of-flight (ToF) camera. The system takes advantage of both the active infrared illumination as well as the additional depth informati...
