Robust Heart Rate Monitoring for Quasi-periodic Motions by Wrist-Type PPG Signals
2019
Heart rate (HR) monitoring using photoplethysmography (PPG) is a promising feature in modern wearable devices. PPG is easily contaminated by motion artifacts (MA), hindering estimation of HR. For quasi-periodic motions, previous works generally focused on a few specific motions, such as walking and fast running. However, they may not work well for many different quasi-periodic motions where MA are very complex. In this paper, a robust HR monitoring scheme for different quasi-periodic motions using wrist-type PPG is proposed, which consists of dictionary learning for signal characteristics learning, human motion recognition for the current motion recognition and dictionary selection, sparse representation-based MA elimination for denoising, and spectral peak tracking for HR-related spectral peak tracking. The proposed scheme is robust to MA caused by different motions and has high accuracy. Experiments on six common quasi-periodic motions showed that the average absolute error of heart rate estimation was 2.40 beat per minute, and also showed that the proposed method is more robust than some state-of-the-art approaches for different motions.
