Continuous signal quality estimation for robust heart rate extraction from photoplethysmographic signals

This study presents a novel method for estimating the signal quality of photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals. For this purpose a robust classifier is implemented and evaluated by using finger- and inear-PPG. A new procedure is proposed, which uses feature reduction to determine the Mahalanobis distan...
