An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical signal from the heart to check for different heart conditions, but it is susceptible to noises. ECG signal denoising is a major pre-processing step which attenuates the noises and accentuates the typical waves in ECG signals. Researchers over time have proposed numerous methods to correctly detect morphological anomalies. This study discusses the workflow, and design principles followed by these methods, and classify the state-of-the-art methods into different categories for mutual comparison, and development of modern methods to denoise ECG. The performance of these methods is analysed on some benchmark metrics, viz., root-mean-square error, percentage-root-mean-square difference, and signal-to-noise ratio improvement, thus comparing various ECG denoising techniques on MIT-BIH databases, PTB, QT, and other databases. It is observed that Wavelet-VBE, EMD-MAF, GAN2, GSSSA, new MP-EKF, DLSR, and AKF are most suitable for additive white Gaussian noise removal. For muscle artefacts removal, GAN1, new MP-EKF, DLSR, and AKF perform comparatively well. For base-line wander, and electrode motion artefacts removal, GAN1 is the best denoising option. For power-line interference removal, DLSR and EWT perform well. Finally, FCN-based DAE, DWT (Sym6) soft, MABWT (soft), CPSD sparsity, and UWT are promising ECG denoising methods for composite noise removal.

Biomedical Instrumentation and Measurements

Line structured light system has made rapid progress in recent years owing to the improvement of camera resolution and image processing technology. The calibration of line structured light system and centerline extraction affect the imaging quality. Hence, numerous innovations have occurred in both line structured light calibration methods and centerline extraction methods. In this paper, key technologies of line structured light calibration are reviewed. Major calibration methods such as vector cross product, linear equation solution, cross ratio invariance, vanishing points and lines, Plucker matrix are analyzed and compared in detail. Methods of centerline extraction are analyzed furthermore. This review concludes with a discussion of the future development of line structured light system, providing a good reference for researchers.

Line structured light calibration method and centerline extraction: A review

We demonstrate a fully integrated linear regulator for multisupply voltage microprocessors implemented in a 90 nm CMOS technology. Ultra-fast single-stage load regulation achieves a 0.54-ns response time at 94% current efficiency. For a 1.2-V input voltage and 0.9-V output voltage the regulator enables a 90 mVp-p output droop for a 100-mA load step with only a small on-chip decoupling capacitor of 0.6 nF. By using a PMOS pull-up transistor in the output stage we achieved a small regulator area of 0.008 mm 2 and a minimum dropout voltage of 0.2 V for 100 mA of output current. The area for the 0.6-nF MOS capacitor is 0.090 mm 2 .

Biomedical Signal Analysis A Case Study Approach

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are deep neural networks that can be trained on large databases and show outstanding performance on object classification, segmentation, image denoising etc. In the past few years, several image denoising techniques have been developed to improve the quality of an image. The CNN based image denoising models have shown improvement in denoising performance as compared to non-CNN methods like block-matching and three-dimensional (3D) filtering, contemporary wavelet and Markov random field approaches etc. which had remained state-of-the-art for years. This study provides a comprehensive study of state-of-the-art image denoising methods using CNN. The literature associated with different CNNs used for image restoration like residual learning based models (DnCNN-S, DnCNN-B, IDCNN), non-locality reinforced (NN3D), fast and flexible network (FFDNet), deep shrinkage CNN (SCNN), a model for mixed noise reduction, denoising prior driven network (PDNN) are reviewed. DnCNN-S and PDNN remove Gaussian noise of fixed level, whereas DnCNN-B, IDCNN, NN3D and SCNN are used for blind Gaussian denoising. FFDNet is used for spatially variant Gaussian noise. The performance of these CNN models is analysed on BSD-68 and Set-12 datasets. PDNN shows the best result in terms of PSNR for both BSD-68 and Set-12 datasets.

State-of-art analysis of image denoising methods using convolutional neural networks

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based on the discriminative learning model have been widely used for image denoising. In this study, a feed-forward denoising CNN (DnCNN) with a parametric rectified linear unit (PReLU) is used to improve the denoising performance. PReLU enhances the model fitting of the DnCNN network without affecting computational cost. This network learns the leaky parameter of negative inputs in an activation function and therefore finds a proper slope in a negative direction. The proposed denoising network is based on residual learning, which comprises repeated convolutional and PReLU units along with batch normalisation. Residual learning with batch normalisation accelerates the network training, which can be used for blind Gaussian denoising. In this network, feature maps are processed by principal component analysis and transferred to subsequent convolution layers. An adaptive bilateral filter further processes the output image of the proposed CNN for image smoothening and sharpening. The mean and variance of the Gaussian kernel of adaptive filter vary from pixel to pixel. The performance of this network is analysed on BSD-68 and Set-12 datasets, and it exhibits an improvement in peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index metric and visual representation over other state-of-the-art methods.

PReLU and edge-aware filter-based image denoiser using convolutional neural network

Problem associated with biomedical signal like ECG is to extract noise cause by high frequency interference, electromagnetic fields, power line interference and body movement. It is difficult to apply filters with fixed coefficients to reduce random noises. Adaptive filter technique is required to overcome this problem. This paper presents an innovative technique for estimation of ECG waves using Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm, widrow-hoff LMS algorithm. Comparisons are made for original signal to noisy. Simulations are done for random noise pattern in mat lab.
