MVRD-Bench: Multi-View Learning and Benchmarking for Dynamic Remote Photoplethysmography under Occlusion

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a non-contact technique that estimates physiological signals by analyzing subtle skin color changes in facial videos. Existing rPPG methods often encounter performance degradation under facial motion and occlusion scenarios due to their reliance on static and single-view facial videos. Thus, this work focuses on tackling the motion-induced occlusion problem for rPPG measurement in unconstrained multi-view facial videos. Specifically, we introduce a Multi-View rPPG Dataset (MVRD), a high-quality benchmark dataset featuring synchronized facial videos from three viewpoints under stationary, speaking, and head movement scenarios to better match real-world conditions. We also propose MVRD-rPPG, a unified multi-view rPPG learning framework that fuses complementary visual cues to maintain robust facial skin coverage, especially under motion conditions. Our method integrates an Adaptive Temporal Optical Compensation (ATOC) module for motion artifact suppression, a Rhythm-Visual Dual-Stream Network to disentangle rhythmic and appearance-related features, and a Multi-View Correlation-Aware Attention (MVCA) for adaptive view-wise signal aggregation. Furthermore, we introduce a Correlation Frequency Adversarial (CFA) learning strategy, which jointly enforces temporal accuracy, spectral consistency, and perceptual realism in the predicted signals. Extensive experiments and ablation studies on the MVRD dataset demonstrate the superiority of our approach. In the MVRD movement scenario, MVRD-rPPG achieves an MAE of 0.90 and a Pearson correlation coefficient (R) of 0.99. The source code and dataset will be made available.

Radar-APLANC: Unsupervised Radar-based Heartbeat Sensing via Augmented Pseudo-Label and Noise Contrast

Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars can measure subtle chest wall oscillations to enable non-contact heartbeat sensing. However, traditional radar-based heartbeat sensing methods face performance degradation due to noise. Learning-based radar methods achieve better noise robustness but require costly labeled signals for supervised training. To overcome these limitations, we propose the first unsupervised framework for radar-based heartbeat sensing via Augmented Pseudo-Label and Noise Contrast (Radar-APLANC). We propose to use both the heartbeat range and noise range within the radar range matrix to construct the positive and negative samples, respectively, for improved noise robustness. Our Noise-Contrastive Triplet (NCT) loss only utilizes positive samples, negative samples, and pseudo-label signals generated by the traditional radar method, thereby avoiding dependence on expensive ground-truth physiological signals. We further design a pseudo-label augmentation approach featuring adaptive noise-aware label selection to improve pseudo-label signal quality. Extensive experiments on the Equipleth dataset and our collected radar dataset demonstrate that our unsupervised method achieves performance comparable to state-of-the-art supervised methods.
