Abstract
Non-invasive heart rate measurement is essential in medical and sport sciences. Typically, the first stage of heart rate measurements is obtained from non-invasive sensors. In this paper, the data from video sequences of a subject cycling are processed using short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to indicate the heart rate of the subject. The choice of using STFT is its ability to provide more accurately localized temporal and frequency information, especially for the rapidly changing heart rate pattern during the exercise routine. Experimental results show the proposed method can provide an acceptable result and the root mean square error is less than 2.5 beats per minute (BPM) for heart rate variations between 80 BPM and 130 BPM.
