Abstract: The present application discloses a method of adjusting a parameter, the parameter being used to derive a physiological characteristic of an individual from an image of the user, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining the parameter for the individual; obtaining a corresponding parameter for a plurality of other individuals within a cohort of the individual; comparing the parameter for the individual with a statistically significant parameter for the plurality of other individuals; and adjusting the parameter for the individual in accordance with the difference between the parameter for the individual and the statistically significant parameter for the plurality of other individuals.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is described. This determines a physiological parameter of an individual, the apparatus comprising: image circuitry configured to obtain a series of images of a skin exposed region of the individual; and processing circuitry configured to perform a periodogram on at least one of the red, green and blue channels of the skin exposed region of the series of images to obtain frequency components of the channel; and to determine the physiological parameter based on the periodogram.
