Comparison of remote photoplethysmography signals acquired by ultra-low noise camera and conventional camera during physiological tests
In present study, remote photoplethysmography signals acquired by ultra-low noise camera and conventional camera were compared during different skin microcirculation provocation tests. The aim of work was to reveal how much of camera dynamic range and noise contribute to blood perfusion signal quality. Results demonstrate comparable capabilities of both cameras for skin perfusion monitoring.
Remote photoplethysmography system for unsupervised monitoring regional anesthesia effectiveness
Determining the level of regional anesthesia (RA) is vitally important to both an anesthesiologist and surgeon, also knowing the RA level can protect the patient and reduce the time of surgery. Normally to detect the level of RA, usually a simple subjective (sensitivity test) and complicated quantitative methods (thermography, neuromyography, etc.) are used, but there is not yet a standardized method for objective RA detection and evaluation. In this study, the advanced remote photoplethysmography imaging (rPPG) system for unsupervised monitoring of human palm RA is demonstrated. The rPPG system comprises compact video camera with green optical filter, surgical lamp as a light source and a …
