Heartbeat detection #38

Closed aartcore closed 7 years ago

Hey Diablodale,

I was wondering if there are any tools in the dp.kinect2 to detect the heartrate. I saw some videos online where they measure it with the kinect one, like this one: https://github.com/dngoins/Kinectv2HeartRate/blob/master/README.md

thanks, aart

I do not know much about heart rate detection. A saw a video demo from Microsoft where they detected heart rate. And then another post by a software developer who made a prototype of heart detection. https://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/kinect/Kinecting-to-your-Heartrate

If I remember correctly, both approaches used the IR camera and the RGB camera to look for rhythmic variations in skin color. I have not heard anything after that. Google tells me there are researchers writing papers on similar ideas

All the raw infrared and rgb data from the Kinect is available to you with dp.kinect2. You can get that data and then with Max implement any data/math processing on them to achieve these kinds of heart beat solutions.

If you develop a solution, I would very much enjoy watching a video or demo of it. :-)

Thanks for the links, it's really interesting stuff! Haha! Yeah i would love to make a demo, but unfortunately i think waiting on the next kinect camera where it's probably already implanted will be faster :-)
