- 适合可穿戴设备实时监测,结果可解释性强
手腕光电容积脉搏波(PPG)可实现心肺生理的连续监测,但在自由活动状态下,由于运动伪影与生理信号频谱重叠,心率(HR)和呼吸率(RR)的可靠估计仍具挑战。现有信号处理方法在强运动下性能下降,而无约束深度学习方法常缺乏生理可解释性。本文提出物理约束谐波分离(PCHS)框架,将腕部PPG的HR与RR估计建模为一种分析-合成问题,利用加速度计数据引导伪影分离而非直接回归生命体征。一个物理引导的谐波生成器将观测信号分解为准周期生理分量与运动相关残差,从而从基频恢复心率,从呼吸调制的谐波参数推断呼吸率。鲁棒重构目标、分离约束及不确定性加权机制确保了运动条件下的稳定分解。在高运动强度的PPG-DaLiA数据集上的实验表明,PCHS优于当前最优方法,且提供可解释的信号分解,有效分离生理活动与运动伪影。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) enables continuous monitoring of cardiopulmonary physiology, but reliable heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) estimation in free-living conditions remains challenging due to non-stationary motion artifacts that spectrally overlap with physiological dynamics. Existing signal-processing methods degrade under strong motion, while unconstrained deep learning approaches often lack physiological interpretability and identifiable structure. We propose a Physically-Constrained Harmonic Separation (PCHS) framework that formulates HR and RR estimation from wrist PPG as an analysis-by-synthesis problem, where accelerometer measurements condition artifact separation rather than directly regressing vital signs. A physics-guided harmonic generator decomposes the observed signal into quasi-periodic physiological components and a motion-related residual, enabling HR recovery from the fundamental frequency and RR prediction from respiratory-driven modulations of the harmonic parameters. Robust reconstruction objectives, separation constraints, and uncertainty-aware weighting stabilize the decomposition under motion. Experiments on the motion-intensive PPG-DaLiA dataset demonstrate that PCHS outperforms state-of-the-art methods while yielding interpretable signal decompositions that effectively disentangle physiological activity from motion artifacts.
