Several medical conditions require accurate monitoring of heart rate and respiratory rate. However, contact-based devices which are typically used to measure these vital signs may be of discomfort and may pose risks to patients. Non-contact imaging systems can solve this problem, however, existing systems suffer from a number of limitations that severely constrain their use in practical scenarios. We are developing novel data fusion and video analysis approaches to overcome these limitations and enable continuous long term non-contact monitoring in real-life environments.
