Conference Proceeding
Addison, P., & Watson, J. N. (2003)
Secondary wavelet feature decoupling (SWFD) and its use in detecting patient respiration from the photoplethysmogram. In Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37439), 2602-2605. https://doi.org/10.1109/IEMBS.2003.1280448
We describe a method for the identification of time-frequency features associated with patient respiration in the wavelet decomposition of the photoplethysmogram where the res...
