Analysis and Visualization of the Two-Dimensional Blood Flow Velocity Field from Videos

We estimate the velocity field of the blood flow in a human face from videos. Our approach first performs spatial preprocessing to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the computational efficiency. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and a temporal band-pass filter are then applied to extract the frequency corresponding to the subjects heart rate. We propose multiple kernel based k-NN classification for removing the noise positions from the resulting phase and amplitude maps. The 2D blood flow field is then estimated from the relative phase shift between the pixels. We evaluate our approach about segmentation as well as velocity field on real and synthetic face videos. Our method produces the recall and precision as well as a velocity field with an angular error and magnitude error on the average.
