S&M3829 Research Paper of Special Issue https://doi.org/10.18494/SAM5181 Published: November 19, 2024 Contactless Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability Estimation Using Palm Images with Particle Swarm Optimization and Independent Component Analysis Algorithms [PDF] Te-Jen Su, Wei-Hong Lin, Wen-Rong Yang, Ya-Chung Hung, Qian-Yi Zhuang, Shih-Ming Wang, and Li-chin Tseng (Received June 10, 2024; Accepted October 11, 2024) Keywords: particle swarm optimization algorithm, heart rate, heart rate variability, independent component analysis, contactless measurement
Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, some patients with COVID-19 have experienced abnormal heart rates, posing potential health risks. In this study, we develop a noncontact method for measuring heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) to effectively reduce the risk of infection and assist healthcare professionals in achieving accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this research, we collected data from 20 experimental testers based on palm images captured from photoplethysmography signals and measuring HR and HRV data by combining intelligent algorithms, namely, separation methods by particle swarm optimization and independent component analysis signal. The proposed method’s new contactless measurement performance can effectively eliminate infection concerns and obtain HR and HRV rapidly and handily. Moreover we provide higher accuracies for physiological parameters, namely, root mean square error (2.00 bpm), mean absolute percentage error (1.5%), and measurement time (8 s), than those in recently published literature.
