According to the randomness of human pulse signals,the multiresolution analysis of the wavelet transform is used to analyze such signals.Its purpose is to extract the abnormal information from the pulse signals of heroin druggers and to obtain the primary judgment criterion which can be used to identify druggers from healthy persons.The scale spectrum based on the wavelet transform of pulse signals carries the important characteristic information of the health situation of human body.The pulse signals of 15 heroin druggers and 15 healthy persons are analyzed and the scale spectrum and the total signal energy of every signal are extracted.It is found that the ratio between the sum(i.e.,scale-wavelet energy) of the scale spectrum in a specific scale-time region and the total signal energy for heroin druggers is generally higher than that of healthy persons.Using the percentage of the ratio between the scale-wavelet energy in the specific scale-time region and the total signal energy as characteristic parameter,a critical parameter is determined that is used to classify heroin druggers and healthy persons.Thus,all of the 15 healthy persons are identified correctly from 30 subjects.Only two heroin persons are misjudged.The experiment results of classification show that the method presented is feasible and effective for detecting the pulse abnormalities of heroin druggers.
