Abstract
A heart-rate detection system can receive heartbeat data generated by a wearable heart-rate sensor worn by a wearer. The system can then execute a noise-reduction process for reducing noise in the heartbeat data. The noise-reduction process can involve applying a lowpass filter to the heartbeat data, generating wavelet coefficients by applying a wavelet transform to the filtered heartbeat data, and generating a reduced set of wavelet coefficients by thresholding the wavelet coefficients. An inverse wavelet signal can then be generated by applying an inverse wavelet transform to the reduced set of wavelet coefficients. R-peaks can be identified by performing peak detection on the instantaneous amplitudes of the data points in the inverse wavelet signal. A heart rate curve can then be generated based on the R-peaks and modified by applying a Hampel filter. Heartbeat data can then be generated based on the modified heart rate curve for output.
