I just Finish 2015 IEEE Signal Processing Cup, and here is an Heart Rate Tracking algorithm using Wrist-Typed PPG Signal.

Notice

This is Not the exact algorithm we used in the paper: http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/~tke/doc/MICROST.pdf, which gave better result than this one, but the idea and procedure are the same.

1. Download the code
2. Add Path in Matlab
3. change variable in init.m (where to save pictures)

Then

runall_train %% run algorithm on all training data
runall_test  %% run algorithm on all testing data

You will see the result.

• 7-order haar wavelet transform for signal preprocess
• Four Heuristic Unit for tracking Frequency Peak

  • Memory Rule: for heart rate could not change too sharply

  • Magnitude Rule: select the larger peak

  • Wavelet Rule(only used in the first frame): When the heart rate peak submerges in motion peaks, the wavelet preprocess may make it emerges.

  • Acceleration Rule: When the subject speeds up, the heart rate tends to grow

And each rule corresponds to a M-file.

• More Intro: TODO
