A camera-based non-contact human IPPG signal acquisition system is designed. The system can perform experimental acquisition under ambient light, effectively reducing the cost of non-contact pulse wave signal acquisition while simplifying the operation process. The first open-source dataset IPPG-BP for IPPG signal and blood pressure data is constructed by this system, and a multi-stage blood pressure estimation model combining a convolutional neural network and bidirectional gated recurrent neural network is designed. The results of the model conform to both BHS and AAMI international standards. Compared with other blood pressure estimation methods, the multi-stage model automatically extracts features through a deep learning network and combines different morphological features of diastolic and systolic waveforms, which reduces the workload while improving accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23125528","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]],"date-time":"2023-06-13T02:00:45Z","timestamp":1686621645000},"page":"5528","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Deep Learning-Based Non-Contact IPPG Signal Blood Pressure Measurement Research"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Hanquan","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua 321000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiping","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua 321000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zehui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua 321000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingwei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Information Engineering, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua 321000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1852","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1523-1755.2003.00932.x","article-title":"Aortic pulse wave velocity index and mortality in endstage renal disease","volume":"63","author":"Blacher","year":"2003","journal-title":"Kidney Int."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2021).
