Preprocessing Realistic Video for Contactless Heart rate Monitoring Using Video Amplification Methodologies
In this research, we improved the outcomes of Eulerian Video Magnification in real life scenarios. The proposed system minimizes or eliminates the motion constrained effect. The system will preprocess the video through multi staged tasks using subject targeting and stabilizing. The resulted …

An energy-efficient hardware system for robust and reliable heart rate monitoring
… and suddenly. Therefore, real-time, continuous monitoring of the heart rate is needed to detect arrhythmia problems sooner and prevent their severe consequences. To make continuous monitoring possible and give it widespread acceptance, a portable heart rate monitoring system must have three key …

Biological variation in basal metabolic rate and energy metabolism
… energy expenditure (TDEE) and basal metabolic rate (BMR). The impact of ethnicity on biological variation on certain aspects of energy metabolism has been investigated. Predictive equations to estimate BMR were published by the FAOIWHOIUNU (1985) in a report entitled EllerK}' and Protein …
