3M: Measuring Vital Signs with Markov-Gauss Model.
IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics 2024 April 31
Measuring vital signs (VS) contained in the echoes is crucial to the analyses of breathing and heartbeat signals using medical radar. Although many advanced signal processing algorithms have been developed for radar-based VS measurement and make some improved progress, existing schemes cannot achieve a good estimation of echo phases modulated by the respiratory and cardiac activities with high accuracy or low computation, and thus resulting in serious performance degradation on the subsequent separation of breathing and heartbeat patterns as well as the assessment of breathing rate (BR), heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV). In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method to measure VS for medical radar, named 3M method. Specifically, our method firstly introduces the Markov-Gauss model to obtain the recursive expression of the echo phases carrying VS, and secondly derive a simple observation equation (SOE) to reflect the relationship between the observed signal and VS of radar measurement. Thirdly, the aforementioned Markov-Gauss model and SOE are fused by Kalman filter to measure VS with accurate estimation. The 3M method demonstrates an elegant structure, low complexity and excellent features introduced by Kalman filter. Simulation results show the superiority of 3M over other methods. Then, we conduct extensive experiments with insightful visualizations to validate the effectiveness of the 3M method. Comparative results on different scenarios illustrate that the 3M method not only achieves state-of-the-art VS measurement performance but also expresses robust properties to HRV analysis.
