Claim One:
1. A system for obtaining an arterial pulse waveform comprising: a non-contact and passive thermal radiation imaging sensor configured and arranged to obtain a sequence of thermal infrared images of a subject containing one or more regions of interest; means for thermal infrared data translation, storing, processing and retrieving of the obtained sequence of thermal infrared images; means for detecting at least one region of interest in the obtained sequence of thermal infrared images; means for tracking said at least one region of interest in the obtained sequence of thermal IR images, means for identification of one or more configurations of a region of measurement of the at least one region of interest by determining a periodicity measurement for multiple configurations of the region of measurement and selecting the configuration with the smallest periodicity measurement; means for determining the arterial pulse by analyzing the configuration of region of measurement; and an output for reporting the determined arterial pulse.
