• Abstract summary: We propose a fully end-to-end transformer-based method for extracting r signals by explicitly leveraging the quasi-periodic nature of r periodicity. A fusion stem is proposed to guide self-attention to r features effectively, and it can be easily transferred to existing methods to enhance their performance significantly.

• Abstract: Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is a non-contact method for detecting physiological signals based on facial videos, holding high potential in various applications such as healthcare, affective computing, anti-spoofing, etc. Due to the periodicity nature of rPPG, the long-range dependency capturing capacity of the Transformer was assumed to be advantageous for such signals. However, existing approaches have not conclusively demonstrated the superior performance of Transformer over traditional convolutional neural network methods, this gap may stem from a lack of thorough exploration of rPPG periodicity. In this paper, we propose RhythmFormer, a fully end-to-end transformer-based method for extracting rPPG signals by explicitly leveraging the quasi-periodic nature of rPPG. The core module, Hierarchical Temporal Periodic Transformer, hierarchically extracts periodic features from multiple temporal scales. It utilizes dynamic sparse attention based on periodicity in the temporal domain, allowing for fine-grained modeling of rPPG features. Furthermore, a fusion stem is proposed to guide self-attention to rPPG features effectively, and it can be easily transferred to existing methods to enhance their performance significantly. RhythmFormer achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer parameters and reduced computational complexity in comprehensive experiments compared to previous approaches.

  Gait recognition aims to distinguish different walking patterns by analyzing video-level human silhouettes, rather than relying on appearance information. Previous research has primarily focused on extracting local or global-temporal representations, while overlooking the intrinsic periodic features of gait sequences. We propose a plug-and-play strategy, called Temporal Periodic Alignment (TPA), which leverages the periodic nature and fine-grained temporal dependencies of gait patterns.
