What the engine does

  • Detect and track the face and select skin regions.
  • Extract temporal color signals from the camera frames.
  • Filter the signal and estimate beats per minute.
  • Visualize the pulse signal and estimated heart rate.

Where it fits

For engineers and researchers studying camera-based physiological signal processing. Inspect the C++ implementation and evaluate the effect of your camera, lighting and processing choices.

What to validate before you buy

For technical demonstration and education only. This is not a medical device and must not be used for diagnosis or health decisions. The user needs to remain still; movement, lighting and camera settings can make estimates inaccurate.

Integration essentials

Check your build environment.

Required skills
C++ programming, OpenCV integration and basic understanding of neural networks.
Browser build
Emscripten compiles the engine to WebAssembly. Follow the included instructions and use the supplied OpenCV module.
Other platforms
Desktop, server, mobile and edge builds require the appropriate OpenCV dependency and build configuration. Porting and platform-specific optimization are your responsibility.
Performance
Depends on camera resolution, face count, models, hardware and browser. Evaluate representative conditions; the browser demo is not a benchmark for every device.

License & handover

Clear terms from the start.

You may study and modify the code, integrate it into your own product that adds substantial value, and sell that product under the software license.

The supplied source must remain private. You may not resell the software as a standalone library, SDK or toolkit. Third-party components retain their own licenses.

Installation, integration, consulting, guaranteed fixes and ongoing maintenance are not included. Updates are discretionary. Review the support policy before checkout.

Digital sales are final except where required by law. Read the purchase FAQ.
