How to predict heart rate? about meta-rppg HOT 9 OPEN

Increasing the sampling rate to 29 and bumping the block size from 40 to 200, I get the following metrics after estimating heart rate from the ground truth ordinal values:

Pearson r is still a bit off in comparison with the results from your paper:

Seems like there is a bug or a typo, since filtered_sig is assigned but never used:

Here are the metrics I get after running get_bpm on a sample of discretized PPG and heart rates from UBFC using the batch size of 8 and slicing a video segment of 6s into 60 frames:

The metrics seem way off. Could you please share how you have converted predicted ordinal values to heart rate?

Here are the ideal metrics (obtained after running get_bpm on the ground truth segments for blocks of 60 frames) after switching to a higher sampling rate for the frames fed to the model (sampling on the (60/25)s timeframe). The result is still disappointing:

Could you please comment on the ideal results you get with your post-processing?

Hi there,

Thanks for taking interest on our work. May I ask what's the training data that you used to train the model? We have only provided a training dataset containing 2 users, which is not the entire dataset.

from meta-rppg.

The metrics above are for videos from the UBFC dataset that have frame rates greater than 25 fps. Batches of 60 frames were taken in each time period of 2.4 seconds, with the sliding window step of 1 second, and the corresponding ground truth ppg signals segmented into 40 regions which were then used to estimate heart rate using get_bpm from your repo. This estimated heart rate was then compared with the ground truth pulse from UBFC, which gave the results above (this approach of measuring mae/r2 was recently used for evaluation in the cvpr 2020 workshop on remote sensing). What kind of metrics do you get when you segment the ground truth ppg into ordinal values and use them for predicting pulse? Or did you avoid using ground truth pulse from ubfc in your comparison?

Hi there,

the UBFC dataset we received from the author didn't contain the ground truth ppg. So we only take use of the ground truth ordinal values. The get_bpm function is for the model. The inaccuracy may be caused by a few reasons, first one is the low sampling rate (24 fps), second is that the sliding window for prediction is too small. You can use a bigger sliding window and a higher sampling rate when predicting in frequency domain.

Thanks! So you used just the ordinal values for estimating heart rate on the UBFC dataset and comparing it with predicted values? In no way the ground truth for pulse was used for evaluation?

How do you train this network and what data sets are used? I use the deap dataset, which is difficult to converge.
