Abstract: Assessing respiratory rate is a critical determinant of one’s health status. The proposed approach relies on principal component analysis (PCA) for the continuous monitoring of breathing rate using an RGB camera. This method employs re-mote plethysmography, a video-based technique enabling contact-less tracking of blood volume fluctuations by detecting variations in pixel intensity on the skin. These pixels encompass the red, blue, and green channels, whose values, post-PCA dimensionality reduction, encode the signal containing vital information about the breathing rate. To assess the method’s performance, it was tested on a group of seven volunteers, including individuals of both genders. The results reveal a Mean Absolute Deviation of 0.714 BPM and a Root Mean Square Error of 2.035 BPM when comparing the experimental measurements to the actual readings.
