Public Benchmark Dataset for Testing rPPG Algorithm Performance

The current needs in remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) research were investigated and it was concluded there is a lack of reproducibility and comparability in the current rPPG research. Three main challenges for rPPG algorithms were defined and incorporated in the dataset; lighting & skin tone, motion robustness and high heart rates & pulse-rate change robustness. Videos accompanied by ECG measurements were recorded to create test material for these challenges.
