Abstract :
It is notable that the photoplethysmogram can be extracted by processing the green component of a video signal of a human body taken with a video camera. This is an affordable, remote and non-contact measurement method to obtain not only heart rate but also blood pressure information. In this study, a tool for obtaining the pulse transit time which correlates with blood pressure has been developed. It is expected that this tool can be used to evaluate plural persons´ autonomic function using only one video camera.
