MMPD: Multi-Domain Mobile Video Physiology Dataset

Abstract

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is an attractive method for noninvasive, convenient and concomitant measurement of physiological vital signals. Public benchmark datasets have served a valuable role in the development of this technology and improvements in accuracy over recent years. However, there remain gaps the public datasets. First, despite the ubiquity of cameras on mobile devices, there are few datasets recorded specifically with mobile phones cameras. Second, most datasets are relatively small and therefore are limited in diversity, both in appearance (e.g., skin tone), behaviors (e.g., motion) and enivornment (e.g., lighting conditions). In an effort to help the field advance, we present the Multi-domain Mobile Video Physiology Dataset (MMPD), comprising 11 hours of recordings from mobile phones of 33 subjects. The dataset was designed to capture videos with greater representation across skin tone, body motion, and lighting conditions. MMPD is comprehensive with eight descriptive labels and can be used in conjunction with the rPPG-toolbox [1]. The Github repository of our dataset: https://github.com/McJackTang/ MMPD_rPPG_dataset.
