Abstract:
Siemocardiography is a non-invasive technique for cardiomechanical assessment by analyzing the local vibrations on chest surface which can be readily acquired from cost-effective accelerometers. The peaks in siesmocardiogram (SCG) signal correspond to underlying mechanical events in heart cycle and have numerious potential clinical and health-awareness applications. However, utilization of SCG signal requires annotation of these peaks that is challenging due to variations in inter-subject morphology and noise prone characteristics of SCG signal. In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically annotate the desired peaks in SCG signal that are required for systolic time intervals (STI). The approach is based on formulating sliding template for the oncoming beat which is less noisier and hence desired peak detection is easier. The information of peak detected in the sliding template is then used to narrow-down the search of desired peak in actual signal.
