ABSTRACT: The major cause of death in both urban and rural area peoples is due to heart problems. Due to inacessibilty of testing facilities available at rural areas, most of the people from suffer from cardiovascular disease (CVD).The common method adopted is regular ECG check-ups for the detection of the risk factors of CVD. In this paper, a noninvasive based propagation of hemodynamic waves for measurement of heart rate and respiration rate is proposed. The blood volume pulse (BVP) from the forehead region by using independent component analysis (ICA) in the recorded video of RGB color channels is extracted. The patient forehead portion is observed by High Definition webcam. The study finds that the above proposed method allows for well-organized pulse rate detection by adopting lighting compensation technique and artifact reduction method in measurement of Heart Rate and Respiration rate.
KEYWORDS: Cardiovascular disease (CVD); Electrocardiogram (ECG); Hemodynamic waves; Blood volume pulse (BVP); Independent component analysis (ICA)
