MinEl_PPG
fast PPG beat detection from sparse min–max coding
What is MinEl_PPG?
MinEl_PPG is an open-source PPG beat detector that reduces the band-passed pulse derivative to ten minimum and maximum values per second and then refines each beat back to the native sampling rate. It ships as a single MATLAB function plus a C port with the same output, and the repository includes code to reproduce its benchmark against seven public PPG databases.
