Signal Processing Mirroring Technique
First Claim
1. A signal processing method comprising:
- selecting a first portion of an original signal;
mirroring the first portion of the original signal about a first vertical axis to create a mirrored first portion; and
analyzing the mirrored first portion.

Abstract
Embodiments may include systems and methods capable of processing an original signal by selecting and mirroring portions of the signal to create a new signal for further analysis. In an embodiment, the signal may be a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal and the new signal may be further analyzed using continuous wavelet transforms. Any suitable number of reconstructed new signals may be created from the original signal and scalograms may be derived at least in part from the new signals. Ridges may be extracted from the scalograms of the new signals and secondary scalograms may be further derived from the ridges. A sum along amplitudes technique may be applied to a selected scalogram and may be plotted as a function of the scale of the scalogram. Desired information, such as respiration information within the original signal, may be identified from the plot.

15. A system for processing a signal, the system comprising:
-
an input signal generator for generating the signal; a processor coupled to the input signal generator, wherein the processor is configured to select a first portion of an original signal, mirror the first portion of the original signal about a first vertical axis to create a mirrored first portion, select a subsequent second portion of the original signal, mirror the second portion of the original signal about a second vertical axis to create a mirrored second portion, combine the mirrored first portion and the mirrored second portion to create a new signal, and analyze the new signal; and an output coupled to the processor, wherein the output is configured to display the new signal analyzed by the processor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
