Removing Drift from Carotid Arterial Pulse Waveforms: A Comparison of Motion Correction and High-Pass Filtering
Non-invasive methods for estimating carotid artery (CA) pressure waveforms have been recently developed as a tool to detect heart abnormalities. Among non-invasive techniques, camera-based methods have the adv...
