The 3rd Vision-based Remote Physiological Signal Sensing (RePSS) Challenge & Workshop

Challenge

Challenge tasks are all related to the main theme of remote physiological signal sensing. For the 3rd RePSS, there are two tracks. 

• Track 1 is self-supervised learning for heart rate measurement using unlabeled facial videos’. Since there are only a few facial videos with HR labels, track 1 mainly focuses on developing self-supervised training methods on unlabeled facial videos. Track 1 will be organized on the Kaggle website.

• Track 2 is facial video-based blood pressure measurement, which is an emerging topic and more challenging. Blood pressure measurement requires high-quality physiological signals from facial videos, so participants in this track should design both accurate remote physiological signal measurement algorithm and blood pressure estimation algorithm. Track 2 will be organized on the Kaggle website.

On these Kaggle websites, instructions and data will be shared, and results from participants will be submitted and ranked. For each track, the top 3 teams will be awarded certificates if the top 3 teams submit papers and are present at the workshop.

Please note that researchers who 1) previously worked with the RePSS organizing team, or 2) have collaborated/are collaborating with RePSS organizers that have access to the full datasets of OBF or VIPL-HR-V2, can participate in the challenge. Their performance will be shown in the leaderboard on the Kaggle website, but won’t be counted for the final ranking and Top-3 certificate for fairness consideration. We will clarify this issue with concerned teams during team registration via email. Thank you for your understanding!
