Deep Learning Based Method to Electrocardiogram Reconstruction via Photoplethysmography
摘要
Analyzing physiological measurements such as heart rate requires an exact peak in a noise-corrupted photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal. When evaluated in an laboratory conditions that do not perfectly simulate living conditions, traditional approaches exhibit proficiency with noise-free photoplethysmography (PPG) signals; however, their robustness significantly diminishes in free-living conditions due to various noise interferences. This paper presents a dual-decoder structure combining U-net and Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM). In addition, we suggest a preprocessing strategy for enhancing PPG noise-resiliency and robust peak detection by transforming the signal into the frequency domain. We collect a dataset of preadolescents of 207 cases using Polar Verity and Polar H10 during the MAST process. The proposed method shows a precision score of peak detection, 89%. In contrast, peak detection performance of the PPG signal is 27% because of false peaks and noise. We proves to be accurate for detecting PPG peaks even in the presence of noise. Furthermore, it can contribute to analyzing PPG signals corrupted by daily noise.
