Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm to classify pulse waveforms based on discrete wavelet network. This paper selects 4-order discrete Daubechies wavelet as the wavelet node of this wavelet network to classify six pulse patterns distinctive in shape. 600 pulse records are used to train this wavelet network and 300 pulse records are used to test the classifier's performance. The test results show that this approach has 83% agreement rate with the experienced experts. Compared with traditional classification methods, it needs not the experience in feature extraction.
