Inter-beat interval (IBI) and heart rate variability (HRV) are important cardiac parameters that provide physiological and emotional states of a person. In this paper, we present a framework for accurate IBI and HRV estimation from a facial video based on the reliability of extracted blood volume pulse (BVP) signals. Our framework first extracts candidate BVP signals from randomly sampled multiple face patches. The BVP signals are then assessed based on a reliability metric to select the most reliable BVP signal, from which IBI and HRV are calculated. In experiments, we evaluate three reliability metrics and demonstrate that our framework can estimate IBI and HRV more accurately than a conventional single face region-based framework.
