A python application that detects the heart-rate of an individual using their computer's webcam. Tested on OSX 10.7 (Lion), Ubuntu 13.04 (Ringtail), and Windows 7.

Inspired by reviewing recent work on Eulerian Video Magnification (http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/vidmag/), with motivation to implement something comparable in python-opencv based on a few previous efforts (such ashttps://github.com/mossblaser/HeartMonitor).

Data processing is implemented within an openMDAO (http://openmdao.org/) assembly object to facilitate rapid prototyping/redesign of the real-time analysis, and for simple embedding into a python application.
