It is validated in an experimental setup based on the publicly available CLAS dataset. The experimental results show that it outperforms two well-known methods in terms of detection accuracy and computational demands. We report a very high detection accuracy, with an error rate below 0.5%, on good quality signals and below 13% on very low-quality PPG signals. The proposed algorithm is characterized with very short processing times and on a low-cost laptop computer requires approximately 0.000012 real-time for the processing of a 60-seconds recording.","PeriodicalId":300010,"journal":{"name":"2020 28th National Conference with International Participation (TELECOM)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134332399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the network is trained, the training data is propagated again to infer the output from the second last layer. This output is used for training a Support Vector Machine.
