Custom rPPG for IoT & Embedded Cameras

We build custom preprocessing and training models that extract reliable vitals from hardware other vendors reject — sub-720p feeds, high compression, noisy sensors. Smart home cameras, elderly care sensors, industrial safety.

Generic rPPG SDKs are trained on high-resolution smartphone cameras and fail when deployed on inexpensive embedded hardware. We train models specifically for the signal characteristics of your exact camera module and processing constraints.

What We Build

Low-Res Signal

Sub-720p Signal Extraction

Custom models trained on low-resolution feeds that other rPPG vendors reject. We extract usable blood volume pulse from 320x240 and even lower resolution cameras.

Noise-Resilient Preprocessing

Algorithms built for the high noise floor and compression artifacts of inexpensive embedded cameras — MJPEG artifacts, rolling shutter, fixed-pattern noise.

Edge TPU Acceleration

Optimized models for Google Coral, Intel Movidius, and other edge AI accelerators — hardware-accelerated inference at the device level with no cloud dependency.

Edge Deployment

ARM/RISC-V Deployment

Model inference optimized for resource-constrained processors — ARM Cortex-A53/A72, RISC-V cores, and custom microcontrollers with as little as 256MB RAM.

Elderly Care Integration

Purpose-built for senior living and aging-in-place monitoring — passive vital sign capture from room cameras, fall detection integration, caregiver alert pipelines.

Smart Home API Output

Native integration with smart home platforms — MQTT, Home Assistant, Matter/Thread compatible output for ambient health monitoring ecosystems.

IoT & Embedded Camera FAQ

Common questions about custom rPPG for IoT and embedded camera systems

With custom preprocessing and models trained specifically on low-res data, yes. Generic SDKs fail because they're trained on HD smartphone cameras. Our models are purpose-built for the signal characteristics of your specific low-res sensor.

ARM Cortex-A53 with 256MB RAM for CPU-only inference, or lighter with edge TPU acceleration. We optimize the model architecture to fit your hardware constraints.

Room-mounted camera captures periodic measurements without requiring the subject to face the camera directly. Custom preprocessing handles varying distances, angles, and partial face visibility.

We output via MQTT, REST API, or custom protocols. Native Home Assistant integration available. Matter/Thread support for modern smart home ecosystems.

Capture gating and signal preparation can run on-device, with immediate frame disposal after signal extraction and deployment-specific processing controls.
