A simple and efficient algorithm with a coarse to fine approach for arterial beat pulse detection.
This paper presents a simple algorithm for arterial beat pulse detection. It consists in a coarse to fine approach : the first step is performed with a lifting Haar wavelet transform with thresholding and provides search intervals, the second step is to localize the beat pulse in the original signal within these areas. Thanks to online available database, the performance of this algorithm can be compared to others and its ability to detect peaks is sufficient considering its low amount of calculation.
