Our research group focused on facial skin temperature, a cardiovascular indicator that can be remotely measured using infrared thermography. It has been studied for non-contact blood pressure estimation based on the spatial characteristics of captured thermal facial images (TFIs). Previous studies have estimated the resting blood pressure based on spatial features extracted by applying independent component analysis (ICA) to acquired TFIs. In practical applications, the use of low-resolution TFIs is considered cost-effective and advantageous for reducing the burden of data management owing to the smaller data volume. However, the reduced resolution could potentially result in the loss of critical information necessary for accurate blood pressure estimation. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate whether low-resolution TFIs can maintain sufficient estimation accuracy for practical implementation. In this study, we developed a resting blood pressure estimation model using low-resolution TFIs with a resolution of 160\u00a0\n                    <jats:inline-formula>\n                      <jats:alternatives>\n                        <jats:tex-math>$$\\times$$<\/jats:tex-math>\n                        <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\">\n                          <mml:mo>\u00d7<\/mml:mo>\n                        <\/mml:math>\n                      <\/jats:alternatives>\n                    <\/jats:inline-formula>\n                    \u00a0120 pixels.
