Eulerian Video Processing and medical applications
Our goal is to reveal subtle yet informative signals in videos that are difficult or impossible to see with the naked eye. We can either display them in an indicative manner, or analyse them to extract important measurements, such as vital signs. Our method, which we call Eulerian Video Processing, …
