Abstract: A fiber-optic sensor matt detects movements of a person on the matt that cause microbending of a fiber-optic cable that is arranged into a symmetric pair of radial ring groups within the matt. There are no cross-over points or overlapping of the fiber-optic cable within the symmetric pair of radial ring groups that could cause fiber wear and noisy readings. Microbending of the fiber-optic cable pressed into a mesh modulates the light intensity received, which is analyzed to extract both respiration and heart BallistoCardioGram (BCG) waveforms by convolution with Daubechies dB5 wavelet and scaling functions. The reconstructed level-4 detail waveform is output as the extracted BCG, while the reconstructed level-6 approximation waveform is output as the extracted respiration waveform. Respiration and heart rates and variations can be generated from the extracted waveforms. An integrated Fast Wavelet Transform (FWT) using dB5 wavelet thus generates both respiration rate and heart rate.
