Abstract

Pulse palpation is an important diagnostic tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and related Oriental medicine systems. Pulse wave contains a lot of physiological and pathological information. How to effectively extract the information contained in pulse wave has been concerned at home and abroad. In this paper, a comprehensive introduction about the pulse wave characteristic is given. Furthermore, a new method of distinguishing students’ physical constitution based on pulse characteristic information is proposed. First, pulse data were collected, preprocessed and pulse cycles were segmented. Second, time domain and pulse features coefficients of pulse wave were extracted. Finally, useful pulse wave features were evaluated and the features are classified to distinguish students’ constitution by SVM classifier. Number experiments have proved the correctness and feasibility of the proposed theory.
