This study proposes a computer vision-based system using a digital camera to measure SpO2 based on iPPG signal extracted from the human forehead without physical contact. The system decomposes the iPPG into different signals using signal decomposition techniques, providing accurate estimation of SpO2 from red and green wavelengths.
Patients with the COVID-19 condition require frequent and accurate blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring. The existing pulse oximeters, however, require contact-based measurement using clips or otherwise fixed sensor units or need dedicated hardware which may cause inconvenience and involve additional appointments with the patient. This study proposes a computer vision-based system using a digital camera to measure SpO2 on the basis of the imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) signal extracted from the human's forehead without the need for restricting the subject or physical contact. The proposed camera-based system decomposes the iPPG obtained from the red and green channels into different signals with different frequencies using a signal decomposition technique based on a complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) technique and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) technique to obtain the optical properties from these wavelengths and frequency channels. The proposed system is convenient, contactless, safe and cost-effective. The preliminary results for 70 videos obtained from 14 subjects of different ages and with different skin tones showed that the red and green wavelengths could be used to estimate SpO2 with good agreement and low error ratio compared to the gold standard of pulse oximetry (SA210) with a fixed measurement position.
