    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device, system and method for skin detection. To enable a reliable, accurate and fast detection the proposed device comprises an input interface (30) for obtaining image data of a scene, said image data comprising a time sequence of image frames, an extraction unit (31) for extracting a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal from a region of interest of said image data, a transformation unit (32) for transforming said PPG signal into a spectral signal, a sorting unit (33) for sorting said spectral signal to obtain a sorted spectral signal representing a descriptor, and a classifier (34) for classifying said region of interest as skin region of a living being or as non-skin region based on the descriptor.

    Abstract: A synchronisation system comprises aa sensor arrangement to detect a trigger base event. An analysis module and an arithmetic unit are configured to access prior information on a time delay between the sensor arrangement's detection of the trigger base and a starting point of an acquisition time interval for acquiring imaging data. The starting point is computed of the acquisition time interval from the detected trigger base event and the prior information of the time delay. The time delay between the sensor arrangement's detection of the trigger base event and the acquisition time interval may vary between individual subjects, but for each individual subject the time delay is well reproducible and hence on a per subject basis may be calibrated for.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for determining a pulse signal from a video sequence, the apparatus comprising a processing unit configured to obtain a video sequence, the video sequence comprising a plurality of image frames; form a plurality of video sub-sequences, each video sub-sequence comprising a frame segment from each image frame in a subset of the image frames, wherein each image frame is divided into a plurality of frame segments; for a first video sub-sequence formed from frame segments from a first subset of image frames, comparing a representative value for the first video sub-sequence to representative values for video sub-sequences formed from frame segments from a second subset of image frames; concatenate the first video sub-sequence to a second video sub-sequence formed from frame segments from the second subset of image frames based on the comparison of representative values; and determine a pulse signal from the concatenated video sub-sequences.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus for identifying living skin tissue in a video sequence, the apparatus comprising a processing unit configured to receive a video sequence, the video sequence comprising a plurality of image frames; divide each of the image frames into a plurality of frame segments, wherein each frame segment is a group of neighboring pixels in the image frame; form a plurality of video sub-sequences, each video sub-sequence comprising a frame segment from two or more of the plurality of image frames; analyze the plurality of video sub-sequences to determine a pulse signal for each video sub-sequence; determine a similarity matrix based on pairwise similarities for each determined pulse signal with each of the other determined pulse signals; and identify areas of living skin tissue in the video sequence from the similarity matrix.
