Spatio-temporal and -spectral feature maps in photoplethysmography imaging and infrared thermograph.

We introduced new maps for the two sensing modalities and presented an overview for three different wavelength ranges. The maps can be used as a tool for visualizing aspects of the dynamic information hidden in video streams without automation. We propose focusing on an indirect method to detect pulsatile regions by using the noisy background pattern characteristic, for example, based on the histogram approach introduced.
