Abstract

Remote photoplethysmography allows for measuring the heart rate without any contact. This is especially useful when it is impossible to measure the pulse by methods that require skin contact. We can measure oxygen saturation with remote photoplethysmography algorithms. Studies with two different approaches are considered: changing the color of skin on the face and head movement. The goal of the study is to classify the current methods for remote photoplethysmography of the face. In this paper, we provide overview of research in the field of remote photoplethysmography from 2015 to 2020. While researching, we chose to use the term “remote photoplethysmography” (rPPG) because it is by far the most frequently used. Scientific social networks and websites were used as sources of information. In this study, we present a brief history and basics of remote photoplethysmography. We propose the algorithm for general classification of existing rPPG approaches. We provide literature review in a table. According to the studied works, we provided the conclusion. Researchers can use reviewed and classified algorithms as a starting point to improve particular features of a remote photoplethysmography algorithm.
