description Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a contactless method that enables the detection of various physiological signals from facial videos. rPPG utilizes a digital camera to detect subtle changes in skin color to measure vital signs such as heart rate variability (HRV), an important biomarker related to the autonomous nervous system. This paper presents a novel contactless HRV extraction algorithm, WaveHRV, based on the Wavelet Scattering Transform technique, followed by adaptive bandpass filtering and inter-beat-interval (IBI) analysis. Furthermore, a novel method is introduced to preprocess noisy contact-based PPG signals. WaveHRV is bench-marked against existing algorithms and public datasets. Our results show that WaveHRV is promising and achieves the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) of 10.5 ms and 6.15 ms for RMSSD and SDNN on the UBFCrPPG dataset.
