could you please tell me what is the algorithm you have used for smoothing the 
red pixels signal ?

It's essentially a rolling median of the last 4 images. You'll see a big jump 
to the peak value when the heart beats.

and why did you choose the last 4 images ? if i make it six for example what 
would be the influence on changing number of images?

Nothing scientific about the number 4, it seemed to work best in my testing. 
The larger the number the.more likely you'll include both peak and trough of 
the heart beat in the average which is not desirable.

Can you give me more information about the algorithm that u use in it ?
cause i want to make a graduation project like a ( heart monitor )

Take a look at the code in HeartRateMonitor.java specifically the 
onPreviewFrame() method.

hmmmm
cant understand why we using that 
the array dosent have any values right !!!
int averageArrayAvg=0;
                        int averageArrayCnt=0;
                        for (int i=0; i<averageArray.length; i++) {
                                if (averageArray[i]>0) {
                                        averageArrayAvg += averageArray[i];
                                        averageArrayCnt++;
                                }
                        }

averageArray is updated each time you go through the code keeping the 4 latest 
averages.

Initially:
averageArray[0] = 0
averageArray[1] = 0
averageArray[2] = 0
averageArray[3] = 0
averageArray[4] = 0

First time through, let's say the average is 68
averageArray[0] = 68
averageArray[1] = 0
averageArray[2] = 0
averageArray[3] = 0
averageArray[4] = 0

Second time through, let's say the average is 72
averageArray[0] = 68
averageArray[1] = 72
averageArray[2] = 0
averageArray[3] = 0
averageArray[4] = 0

Second time through, average is 65
averageArray[0] = 68
averageArray[1] = 72
averageArray[2] = 65
averageArray[3] = 0
averageArray[4] = 0

Third time through, the average is 71
averageArray[0] = 68
averageArray[1] = 72
averageArray[2] = 65
averageArray[3] = 71
averageArray[4] = 0

Fourth time through, the average is 67
averageArray[0] = 68
averageArray[1] = 72
averageArray[2] = 65
averageArray[3] = 71
averageArray[4] = 67

Fifth time through; the average is 69, so I use the zero-th index.
averageArray[0] = 69
averageArray[1] = 72
averageArray[2] = 65
averageArray[3] = 71
averageArray[4] = 67

hi,how are you can you tell me why you are using 
greenBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), 
R.drawable.green_icon);
        redBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.red_icon);
    green_icon and red_icon ,also can you provide me with this icon because they are not found in source code ,,all thanks to you

They are located in res/drawable-mdpi folder of the source code.

They are used to visually show the user when a heart beat happens. If you run 
the App on a phone, it's the small rectangle that changes from green to red and 
vice versa.

Could you please explain how you detect the beat? (Theoretical side) Thank you.

Basically, you want to use the camera to with as little focus as possible. So, 
if you put your finger on the lens, it'll be confused and not be able to focus. 
Because it isn't focused you'll essentially have very coarse data picking up 
only shades of light and dark RGB. I look at the a single channel (red) and try 
to detect when it goes from light red to dark red.

I can't understand the image processing steps. could you please explain that 
for me?

I was wondering how can I extract the green values instead of the red values. 
In some papers that I have been reading, they say that the green values have 
less noise than any other color. Thus, I would like to give it a shot with the 
green color. 

In the "imageProcessing.java", in the decodeYUV420SPtoRedSum() method, there is 
this line of code:
                int red = (pixel >> 16) & 0xff;
I suppose this extracts the red value.
How can I extract the green value?

You can try:
int green = (pixel >>  8) & 0xff;

How can I detect whether the user's finger is placed on the camera or not? Can 
I somehow know that? FOr example, if the average of the red pixels are not 
greater than a specific number-threshold, then it means that the user's finger 
is not placed on the camera... Is it possible to do something like that or is 
there any easiest way? 
It would be a good addition to the project if we can do that.

For anyone interested, I figured out how to detect whether the user has his 
finger placed on the camera or not. 
In the imageProcessing.java, in the decodeYUV420SPtoRedAvg() method, we 
calculate the average value of the pixels of the red color. DOing a small 
experiment, I found out that when the user has his finger placed on the camera 
lens, the average has a value of >200 . In other case, the average value is 
<200.  thus, in the HeartRateActivity you can add an if statement after the 
call of the decodeYUV420SPtoRedAvg(), to find wether the value returned is >200 
or < 199. You can use this to display an alert box or something similar to 
guide the user to place his finger on the camera lens.

Hi , I have seen that the app works fine if the surrounding light is good , but 
in dim light it does not give correct output like other leading apps.

Suppose  an averageArray value is getting and like you said it's 69 or maybe 
any value.... It's for 10s .? Is it.? How we can convert it into minute.? Beats 
per minute

Hi phishman, your application is working fine but can you please change 
algorithm, which can be like Heart rate(Google Play Store link : 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=si.modula.android.instantheartrate
). Your application retrieving each heart rate value every 10 seconds but Heart 
rate application is calculating average heart rate value with in 10 seconds. 
thanks in advance.

nayaka.ravikumar,

The code is completely open sourced, feel free to fork the code and change
the algorithm to be whatever you'd like.

anish.vilayil.s,

It's a simple change; look at like 172 here.. the reference to 10 is the
signal.
