Contactless pulse rate measurement based on smart TV

Due to the advent of the aging society, homecare is more and more important. In this paper, we design and implement the contactless pulse rate measurement method based on the Android smart TV, which allows the user to measure their pulse rate without requiring of contact sensors. This framework provides a convenient measurement environment for homecare. The results of the experiment show the presenting error of the worst case is between +3.7 and −1.17 bpm.
