Abstract: Non-contact facial heart rate detection based on video is susceptible to interference from ambient light and motion artifacts,and the accuracy of heart rate detection results is low.To address the above problems,this paper proposes an adaptive thresholding denoising method which combines ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD) and standardized Euclidean distance to reduce external interference and improve accuracy.Firstly,the green channel pixel mean is selected as PPG signal from RGB image model recorded by camera,and then the signal is preprocessed with a filter to eliminate the signals outside the heart rate range.Secondly,the EEMD is combined with standardized Euclidean distance to threshold and reconstruct the intrinsic modal function.Finally,power spectrum analysis with Fourier transform is performed to calculate the heart rate.Experiments show that,compared with the methods based on wavelet transform and empirical mode decomposition with adaptive,this method has better stability and accuracy in denoising of non-contact facial heart rate detection,improves the robustness of heart rate detection,which is suitable for daily non-contact real-time heart rate monitoring.
