A novel algorithm was presented to extract heart rate from ballistocardiogram (BCG) signals more accurately. Original signals are pretreated by polynomial fitting and wavelet transform. Then priori heart rate is acquired through the spectrum analysis of unipolar signals and a local heartbeat cycle is divided into several subintervals based on the priori heart rate. Finally, the heart rate is obtained by threshold processing and local maximum value positioning. The BCG signals from 30 normal subjects were acquired, with their single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) signals gathered synchronously. Compared the heart rate extracted from the BCG signals with that from ECG signals, the maximum relative error is only 1.78%, which verified the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
