contents Model architecture refinement is a challenging task in deep learning research fields such as remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). One architectural consideration, the depth of the model, can have significant consequences on the resulting performance. In rPPG models that are overprovisioned with more layers than necessary, redundancies exist, the removal of which can result in faster training and reduced computational load at inference time. With too few layers the models may exhibit sub-optimal error rates. We apply Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) to an array of rPPG architectures of differing depths, demonstrating that shallower models do not learn the same representations as deeper models, and that after a certain depth, redundant layers are added without significantly increased functionality. An empirical study confirms how the architectural deficiencies discovered using CKA impact performance, and we show how CKA as a diagnostic can be used to refine rPPG architectures.
