Method, information processing apparatus and server for determining a physiological parameter of an individual

A method of determining a physiological parameter of an individual, the method comprising the steps of:

• obtaining a series of images of a skin exposed region of the individual;
• performing a periodogram on at least one of the red, green and blue channels of the skin exposed region of the series of images to obtain frequency components of the channel;
• determining the physiological parameter based on the periodogram;
• and
• performing band pass filtering on the periodogram, the band pass filter being configured to pass through frequencies of the pulse of the individual.

An information processing apparatus for determining a physiological parameter of an individual, the apparatus comprising:

• image circuitry configured to obtain a series of images of a skin exposed region of the individual;
• processing circuitry configured to perform a periodogram on at least one of the red, green and blue channels of the skin exposed region of the series of images to obtain frequency components of the channel and to determine the physiological parameter based on the periodogram;
• and
• band pass filter circuitry configured to perform band pass filtering on the periodogram, the band pass filter circuitry being configured to pass through frequencies of the pulse of the individual.
