The study is carried out under two sections; ROI selection and color space selection. We compared five different ROI selection for different regions of the face. We also investigated three color spectrums namely additive, perceptual and orthogonal color spaces. The study experimented on the publicly available human-computer interaction (HCI) database. When evaluated on 30 subjects, the results showed that the ROI selection on the forehead and the green spectrum of the additive color space to provides higher accuracy for heart rate measurement. © 2016 IEEE. %Z cited By 13; Conference of 2016 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference, I2MTC 2016 ; Conference Date: 23 May 2016 Through 26 May 2016; Conference Code:122785
