  Algorithm to Calculate Heart Rate and Comparison of Butterworth IIR and Savitzky-Golay FIR Filter
  Author(s): Chatterjee A* and Roy UK
  
  Heart Rate is an important physiological parameter for health monitoring. Heart Rate measurement with smart phone is used by many people all over the world and different applications are developed. But, there are few issues behind the proper measurement like motion, baseline drift, power line interference, low amplitude PPG, and premature ventricular contraction and noise in the signal. While capturing red contact video of fingertips, miss touch errors can produce significant variation in real result as noise gets incorporated. Similarly, high pressure on camera and low pressure on camera can produce incorrect PPG signal and therefore, mislead to incorrect result. They can be treated as noise and needs to be removed up to a level to keep up the originality of a signal to give correct BPM rate. Here, in our study we have introduced an algorithm to get rid of..
