Reconstructed Dynamics of the Imaging Photoplethysmogram

Human photoplethysmogram (PPG) is one of the signals widely applied for health monitoring. Development of the new techniques made possible evolution of traditional contact PPG which was measured at red and near-infrared light (NIR) to the contactless, imaging PPG (iPPG) that can be recorded at various light wavelengths, including ambient visible light. However, despite the numerous advantages of iPPG its applications demonstrated so far are quite limited. The NIR PPG was previously found to be useful for various applications in the area of physiological and mental health monitoring by utilizing advanced methods of nonlinear time-series analysis applied on its reconstructed dynamics. The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate data-driven approach with time-delay-reconstructed attractor obtained from the iPPG. The results of this study demonstrated that the iPPG dynamics can be reconstructed with fine data resolution, and its time-delay-reconstructed trajectory is almost deterministic, though contains noise. The obtained results might be useful for further applied studies on the iPPG.
