Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods for computer monitoring of remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) from camera images based on chromaticity in a converted color space, which reduces motion-induced artifacts in camera images for improved rPPG computer monitoring of physiological parameters. In particular, a rPPG system for monitoring at least one physiological parameter from image data is disclosed herein. A processor subsystem electronically receives a first image data set representative of a series of consecutive images of at least a portion of a living body. The processor subsystem converts the first image data set from a first color space to a second color space to generate a second image data set including first channel data comprising a luminance component and second channel data comprising a chromatic component. The processor subsystem processes the second channel data to monitor the at least one physiological parameter of the living body.
