Abstract: Monitoring a driver’s heart rate is an important determinant to his health condition. The monitoring system must be accurate and non restrictive to the user’s actions. Estimating the driver’s change in his usual heart beat pattern can prevent undesirable outcomes. Several methods exist to estimate heart rate without any contact. In this paper, we are focusing on a method that uses remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). rPPG is a technique where heart rate is extracted from a PPG signal. The signal is extracted from the changes in blood flow that corresponds to the color variations recorded through an RGB camera. In this work, a different study that was based on an existing algorithm is presented to determine its processing time. The algorithm we proposed was divided into different global blocks and each block into different functional blocks (FBs). Though evaluating all the blocks’ processing time, it was possible to determine the most time consuming functional blocks. The results are implemented on different architectures: Desktop, Odroid XU4 and Jetson Nano to provide a higher performance.

Keywords: Heart rate; driver; photoplethysmography; non-contact; embedded architectures
