description A solution to address the issues of environmental light interference in Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) methods is proposed in this paper. First, signals from the face’s region of interest (ROI) and background noise signals are simultaneously collected, and the two signals are processed by a differential to obtain a more accurate rPPG signal. This method effectively suppresses background noise and enhances signal quality. Secondly, the singular spectrum analysis algorithm (SSA) is enhanced to further improve the accuracy of heart rate detection. The algorithm’s parameters are adaptively optimized by integrating the spectral and periodic characteristics of the heart rate signal. Experimental results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper effectively mitigates the effects of lighting changes on heart rate detection, thereby enhancing detection accuracy. Overall, the experiments indicate that the proposed method significantly improves the effectiveness and accuracy of heart rate detection, achieving a high level of consistency with existing contact-based detection methods.
