Performance Assessment

Resources to assess the performance of PPG beat detectors.

---

This page provides details of resources provided to assess the performance of PPG beat detectors.

Datasets

Several datasets are provided on which to assess the performance of PPG beat detectors. Each dataset contains:

• PPG signals
• ECG signals (to obtain reference heartbeats)

Code

assess_beat_detectors.m: The main function for assessing the performance of PPG beat detectors. This can be used to assess the performance of beat detectors on a single dataset (as demonstrated in the tutorial here).

assess_multiple_datasets.m: This is a wrapper for assess_beat_detectors.m. It allows PPG beat detectors to be assessed across multiple datasets by: calling the main assessment function (assess_beat_detectors.m) for each dataset in turn; and then creating figures to display the performance on each dataset. This tutorial provides an example of how to use this function to assess performance across multiple datasets.
