I was really excited about it, because, as a cardiologist, I immediately thought we could use this to identify irregular heart beats in the patient waiting room, for example. This was pre Apple watch etc. I was thinking people could briefly sit in the chair in front of the camera if they are willing to be recorded, as a quick screening whilst they wait for the doc.
Unfortunately, I found it incredibly difficult to reproduce their results, even using similar data. I remember videoing my foot as I have a relatively prominent posterior tibial pulse, which in good light I can actually make out visually (but not in the video I took, as intended). The Eulerian magnification didn't seem to do anything.
Has anyone else had better luck? I did wonder if maybe I had to use specific video capture equipment, certain frame rates or filters, but if so that wasn't clear from the documentation?
It's been 8 years since this paper came out, and yet I still haven't seen it being used in the 'real world', so I am slightly suspicious that I am not alone in my experiences.
