Adaptive cancelation of motion artifact in photoplethysmyographic blood volume pulse measurements for exercise evaluation

An adaptive transversal filter was designed to minimize the impact of motion artifact in the measurement of photoplethysmographic Blood Volume pulse (BVP) in an exercising subject. The rationale of the design is introduced and results from off-line testing with signals recorded from an experimental setup are presented.
