Estimation of stress-responsive hemodynamics from near-infrared facial image using t-SNE
摘要
When humans are exposed to external stimuli, they exhibit a stress response. This response can be categorized into three types based on coping mechanisms: active coping styles, passive coping styles, and no coping. These coping styles can be differentiated by characteristic variation patterns in hemodynamic indices, such as mean blood pressure (MBP), cardiac output (CO), and total peripheral resistance (TPR). Current hemodynamic measurement methods are contact-based and time-consuming, highlighting the need for a non-contact technique to quickly assess stress-coping styles. In this study, we focused on facial blood flow information captured in the near-infrared spectrum and aimed to estimate stress coping styles by applying dimensionality reduction and sparse modeling to near-infrared facial image (NIFI). As an initial step, dimensionality reduction was applied to NIFI to visualize divergence according to stress-coping styles in a two-dimensional space. Subsequently, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) labeling and sparse modeling were employed to classify stress-coping styles. The proposed model achieved a classification accuracy of 70.5
