An Automatic Method for Motion Artifacts Detection in Photoplethysmographic Signals Referenced With Electrocardiography Data

Authors

Abstract

This work presents an automatic motion artifact
detection algorithm for photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals
with synchronized electrocardiography (ECG) data. 18 features
from time and frequency domain were extracted and used in a
support vector machine (SVM) for automatic classification. The
performance achieved by this method (SE: 87.5%, SP: 85.5%
and CR: 86.8%) proves that the information extracted from the
relationship between electrocardiography and PPG can be used
to identify segments of motion artifacts in PPG signals
