- This paper presents a quality index (QI) analysis on R-peak extracted by a camera system considering movements and light illumination. Here, the proposed camera system is compared with a reference system named Shimmer PPG sensor. The study considers five test subjects with a 15 minutes measurement protocol, where the protocol consists of several conditions. The conditions are: Normal sittings, head movements i.e., up/down/left/right/forward/backword, with light on/off and with moving flash on/off. A percentage of corrected R-peaks are calculated based on time difference in milliseconds (MS) between the R-peaks extracted both from camera-based and sensor-based systems. A comparison results between normal, movements, and lighting condition is presented as individual and group wise. Furthermore, the comparison is extended considering gender and origin of the subjects. According to the results, more than 90% R-peaks are correctly identified by the camera system with ±200 MS time differences, however, it decreases with while there is no light than when it is on. At the same time, the camera system shows more 95% accuracy for European than Asian men.

An Intelligent Non-Contact based Approach for Monitoring Driver’s Cognitive Load
- 2018

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The modern cars have been equipped with advanced technical features to help make driving faster, safer and comfortable. However, to enhance transport security i.e. to avoid unexpected traffic accidents it is necessary to consider a vehicle driver as a part of the environment and need to monitor driver’s health and mental state. Driving behavior-based and physiological parameters-based approaches are the two commonly used approaches to monitor driver’s health and mental state. Previously, physiological parameters-based approaches using sensors are often attached to the human body. Although these sensors attached with body provide excellent signals in lab conditions it can often be troublesome and inconvenient in driving situations. So, physiological parameters extraction based on video images offers a new paradigm for driver’s health and mental state monitoring. This thesis report presents an intelligent non-contact-based approach to monitor driver’s cognitive load based on physiological parameters and vehicular parameters. Here, camera sensor has been used as a non-contact and pervasive methods for measuring physiological parameters.The contribution of this thesis is in three folds: 1) Implementation of a camera-based method to extract physiological parameters e.g., heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), inter-bit-interval (IBI), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and respiration rate (RR) considering several challenging conditions e.g. illumination, motion, vibration and movement. 2) Vehicular parameters e.g. lateral speed, steering wheel angle, steering wheel reversal rate, steering wheel torque, yaw rate, lanex, and lateral position extraction from a driving simulator. 3) Investigation of three machine learning algorithms i.e. Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to classify driver’s cognitive load. Here, according to the results, considering the challenging conditions, the highest correlation coefficient achieved for both HR and SpO2 is 0.96. Again, the Bland Altman plots shows 95% agreement between camera and the reference sensor. For IBI, the quality index (QI) is achieved 97.5% considering 100 ms R-peak error. For cognitive load classification, two separate studies are conducted, study1 with 1-back task and study2 with 2-back task and both time domain and frequency domain features are extracted from the facial videos. Finally, the achieved average accuracy for the classification of cognitive load is 91% for study1 and 83% for study2. In future, the proposed approach should be evaluated in real-road driving environment considering other complex challenging situations such as high temperature, complete dark/bright environment, unusual movements, facial occlusion by hands, sunglasses, scarf, beard etc.

- Person identification is an important task for many applications for example in security. A person can be identified using finger print, vocal sound, facial image or even by DNA test. However, Person identification using facial images is one of the most popular technique which is non-contact and easy to implement and a research hotspot in the field of pattern recognition and machine vision. n this paper, a deep learning based Person identification system is proposed using facial images which shows higher accuracy than another traditional machine learning, i.e. Support Vector Machine.

- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the important physiological parameter which is used to early detect many fatal disease. In this paper a non-contact remote Heart Rate Variability (HRV) monitoring system is developed using the facial video based on color variation of facial skin caused by cardiac pulse. The lab color space of the facial video is used to extract color values of skin and signal processing algorithms i.e., Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Principle Component Analysis (PCA) are applied to monitor HRV. First, R peak is detected from the color variation of skin and then Inter-Beat-Interval (IBI) is calculated for every consecutive R-R peak. HRV features are then calculated based on IBI both in time and frequency domain. MySQL and PHP programming language is used to store, monitor and display HRV parameters remotely. In this study, HRV is quantified and compared with a reference measurement where a high degree of similarities is achieved. This technology has significant potential for advancing personal health care especially for telemedicine.
