METHOD FOR EXTRACTING THE FEATURE OF AN ABDOMINAL BREATHING AND A SYSTEM USING THE SAME

Abstract

A method for extracting the feature of an abdominal breathing is disclosed, capable of extracting the feature of an abdominal breathing, without the requirement of a standard model of an abdominal breathing and the execution of a learning process being executed prior to the method for extracting the feature of an abdominal breathing. By means of computing a plurality of intrinsic mode functions corresponding to the abdominal breathing signal received, an Euler angle function and an instantaneous frequency function of each of the plurality of intrinsic mode functions, and comparing the plurality of instantaneous frequency function with a pre-determined zero-point threshold region, the method for extracting the feature of an abdominal breathing defines one of the plurality of instantaneous frequency function as an abdominal breathing feature function, which contains the feature of the abdominal breathing. In this way, the feature of an abdominal breathing is extracted.
