Abstract

The present invention relates to a device, system and a method for generating a photoplethysmographic image carrying vital sign information of a subject. To provide an increased validity and robustness against motion, in particular against ballistocardiographic motion, the proposed device comprises an input interface (30) for obtaining image data of a skin region of a subject in at least two different wavelength channels, said image data comprising two or more image frames acquired by detecting light transmitted through or reflected from the skin region over time, wherein said image data comprise wavelength-dependent reflection or transmission information in said at least two different wavelength channels, a combination unit (31) for combining, per pixel or group of pixels and per time instant, image data values of said at least two different wavelength channels to obtain a time-variant pulse signal per pixel or group …
