Auto-Threshold Peak Detection in Physiological Signals

Abstract

In processing physiological signals, it is often necessary to detect periodic, local maxima. There are a variety of peak detection algorithms, but most require a threshold value in order to distinguish peaks from the rest of the data. This brief paper presents implementation of a peak detection algorithm using Matlab and introduces an innovative method for estimating the threshold value. Keywords: Peak detection, electrocardiogram, Matlab
