Detection of Multiple Respiration Patterns Based on 1D SNN from Continuous Human Breathing Signals and the Range...

Human respiratory information is being used as an important source of biometric information that can enable the analysis of health status in the healthcare domain. The analysis of the frequency or duration of a specific respiration pattern and the classification of respiration patterns in the corresponding section for a certain period of time are important for the utilization of respiratory information in various ways. Existing methods require window slide processing to classify sections for each respiration pattern from the breathing data for a certain time period. In this case, when multiple respiration patterns exist within one window, the recognition rate can be lowered. To solve this problem, a 1D Siamese neural network (SNN)-based human respiration pattern detection model and a merge-and-split algorithm for the classification of multiple respiration patterns in each region for all respiration sections are proposed in this study. When calculating the accuracy based on intersection over union (IOU) for the respiration range classification result for each pattern, the accuracy was found to be improved by approximately 19.3% compared with the existing deep neural network (DNN) and 12.4% compared with a 1D convolutional neural network (CNN). The accuracy of detection based on the simple respiration pattern was approximately 14.5% higher than that of the DNN and 5.3% higher than that of the 1D CNN.
