Algorithms#

Individual algorithms for preprocessing signals and extracting fiducial points from ECG and ICG signals.

Together, these algorithms can be combined into a PEP extraction pipeline (e.g., PepExtractionPipeline).

The following categories of algorithms are available:

  • heartbeat_segmentation - Algorithms for heartbeat segmentation

  • preprocessing - Algorithms for preprocessing of ECG and ICG signals

  • ecg - Algorithms for ECG fiducial point extraction

  • icg - Algorithms for ICG fiducial point extraction

  • outlier_correction - Algorithms for outlier correction of ICG fiducial points
