Measuring the Heart Rate (HR) plays an important role in the description of human physiological and psychological state, due to its relationship with cognitive/emotional factors such as attention effort, stress or arousal. For this reason, remote methodologies for HR measurements have recently been investigated to find a reliable and cost-effective methodology. Our work aims at the following:
• Development of a novel technique for remote HR estimation
• Comparison of the proposed method with the state of the art on a common dataset
