The document describes a method for measuring pulse rate of a person using video analysis. It discusses using the mean pixel values of red, green, and blue channels in regions of interest of the face to extract pulse signals. Two approaches for selecting regions of interest are described: object tracking and active appearance modeling. The method involves preprocessing signals, applying independent component analysis and filtering, and using Fourier transforms to detect peak pulse rate. Evaluation tests focused on factors like motion, distance from camera, and video duration needed.
