function peaks = PeakDetection(x,ff,varargin) % % peaks = PeakDetection(x,f,flag), % R-peak detector based on max search % % inputs: % x: vector of input data % f: approximate ECG beat-rate in Hertz, normalized by the sampling frequency % flag: search for positive (flag=1) or negative (flag=0) peaks. By default % the maximum absolute value of the signal, determines the peak sign. % % output: % peaks: vector of R-peak impulse train % % Notes: % - The R-peaks are found from a peak search in windows of length N; where % N corresponds to the R-peak period calculated from the given f. R-peaks % with periods smaller than N/2 or greater than N are not detected. % - The signal baseline wander is recommended to be removed before the % R-peak detection % % % Open Source ECG Toolbox, version 1.0, November 2006 % Released under the GNU General Public License % Copyright (C) 2006 Reza Sameni % Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran -- GIPSA-Lab, INPG, Grenoble, France % reza.sameni@gmail.com % Last modified 03_02_2013: Joachim Behar, IPMG Oxford. % This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it % under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the % Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your % option) any later version. % This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but % WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of % MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
