This book describes the latest advances in pulse signal analysis and
their applications in classification and diagnosis. First, it provides a
comprehensive introduction to useful techniques for pulse signal
acquisition based on different kinds of pulse sensors together with the
optimized acquisition scheme. It then presents a number of preprocessing
and feature extraction methods, as well as case studies of the
classification methods used. Lastly it discusses some promising
directions for the future study and clinical applications of pulse
signal analysis. The book is a valuable resource for researchers,
professionals and postgraduate students working in the field of pulse
diagnosis, signal processing, pattern recognition and biometrics. It is
also useful for those involved in interdisciplinary research.
