Non-contact sensing of neonatal pulse rate using camera-based imaging: a clinical feasibility study

Neonates are seldom measured by PPGI and studies reporting measurements on darker skin tones are rare. In this work, not only a single camera was used, but a synchronized camera setup using multiple wavelengths. Various ROIs were used for signal extraction to examine the capabilities of PPGI. In addition, qualitative observations regarding camera parameters and noise sources were reported and discussed.
