Introduction
------------

Face detection and tracking are used to observe the tiny variations
in skin tone that result from the increased blood flow after a heart beat.
By averaging, filtering and Fourier-transforming these variations the heart
rate is estimated and graphed.

Multiple persons in the scene are analysed simultaneously.

Installation
------------

::

    pip3 install heartwave

Usage
