4TU rPPG Benchmark

public benchmark videos + ECG for lighting/skin tone, motion and high-HR challenges (TU/e, 4TU.ResearchData 2020)

The Public Benchmark Dataset for Testing rPPG Algorithm Performance (Hoffman and Lakens, Eindhoven University of Technology) is a 4TU.ResearchData release of face videos with synchronized ECG built to test rPPG algorithms on three challenges: lighting combined with skin tone, motion robustness, and high or changing heart rates. The accompanying OSF project says the recordings come from three participants with three different skin tones and were used to benchmark a VicarVision rPPG tool.
