Video Analysis for Health Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

The use of cameras with advanced analysis methods has recently emerged as a promising alternative to conventional contact medical sensors attached to the patient's body. Because of its non-contact nature, this technology will significantly improve patient comfort and pave the way for many new applications. In this special issue, we welcome contributions on methods and systems for measuring physiological signals using cameras and their applications: health monitoring (e.g., during sleep or in fitness and driving contexts); affective computing; and security applications (e.g., video surveillance, biometry, or anti-spoofing). Contributions related to physiological signal measurement from unconventional cameras (multispectral cameras, NIR, and thermal cameras) will also be considered.
