Abstract

Remote photoplethysmography is a non-invasive method of measuring changes in blood volume, which
is widely used to assess the state of the cardiovascular system. However, due to the complexity of RPPG
signals and the low quality of the video stream, the analysis of these signals requires accurate and
adaptive data processing methods. Wavelet transform and scalogram are effective tools for detecting the
time-frequency characteristics of these signals. The aim of the study is to apply the wavelet transform
coefficients and scalogram for detailed analysis of photoplethysmographic signals in order to improve
the assessment of cardiovascular processes. In this work, wavelet transforms were used to obtain
coefficients that reflect the multiscale structure of RPPG signals. The analysis of the scalogram allows
us to identify key frequency and time changes that characterize cardiovascular processes. Particular
attention is paid to identifying the characteristic features of pulse oscillations and assessing their
interdependence with the state of the cardiovascular system.
