Generate Breath Flow Having Fractal Signal Feature Using Weierstrass Function Combination

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fractal signal feature in breath flow is verified by many articles. So the generate fractal feature have two meanings, one to decrease damage to lung in mechanical ventilation because of natural similar, two to increase similarity in breath simulation used in medical patient simulator. The main feature of fractal signal is self-similar. Some algorithms have been proposed using fractional Brownian motion simulation. In this paper we use Weierstrass function combination to generate fractal signal. The method includes all fractal features and easy to realize in algorithm compared with fractional Brownian motion.
