TL;DR: The proposed paper focuses on the study of different techniques of denoising and an identification of person through an ECG signal.
Abstract: All the real time signals are non-periodic and non-stationary, which gives more information for any signal processing techniques. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is an example of real time signal. ECG signal gives electrical activities that are useful information about the functioning of heart. ECG signals helps in diagnosing the complex cardiac diseases. ECG signals are low frequency signals and contain lot of clinical information. The important characteristic information called features are extracted from ECG signal and used for medical diagnosis. The denoising of signal becomes important stage in any signal processing technique and lot of scope involved in computer aided diagnosis of heart. Many research work focusing on denoising the signal for extracting important features like Extended Kalman Filter, Wavelet Transformation and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The denoising signal processing techniques evaluated using mean square error and signal to noise ratio. In addition, ECG signal is used for person authentication. The proposed paper focuses on the study of different techniques of denoising and an identification of person through an ECG signal.

TL;DR: According to the comparison between various techniques which are used for classification of arrhythmia, the researchers prefer to use machine learning algorithm to achieve high performance and better accuracy.
Abstract: Arrhythmia and heart problems are one of the most important health problems in the whole world which leads to various other severe complications, for example, heart attack. As arrhythmia is a type of cardiologic disease, it can be used for pointing out the abnormality from normal heart activity and try to understand about heartbeat whether the heartbeat is normal or not. The main element that only a less number of people informed being discovered as a result of screening indicates that there are missing opportunities to prevent heart disease. There are different methods present for heart. Heart diseases are recognized by capturing information from patient’s body and forward results to doctors to reduce the risk of heart attack. So, the researcher always keeps trying to find out the best solution for this problem. The researchers have done huge research on this area, so according to the comparison between various techniques which are used for classification of arrhythmia, they prefer to use machine learning algorithm to achieve high performance and better accuracy.

TL;DR: A wireless and wearable ECG detection system based on signal acquisition from left upper-arm was designed to verify this solution method and indicated that the system can achieve a good performance of heart rate detection under different body states.
Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) plays a crucial role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in humans and various types of ECG monitoring equipment are continuously being developed. Most monitoring methods place the electrodes near the heart or on both arms, based on standard ECG leads. Although accurate monitoring effect has been achieved by these conventional approaches, the wearable performance still need to be improved. This paper proposed a novel ECG-enhanced multi-sensor solution for wearable sports devices. A wireless and wearable ECG detection system based on signal acquisition from left upper-arm was designed to verify this solution method. The system has been evaluated with solid experiments proving that the system has outperformed existing similar system. Moreover, the inertial measurement unit (IMU) and electromyography (EMG) data were detected and fused by the system to determine the validity of the ECG signal. It indicated that the system can achieve a good performance of heart rate detection under different body states.

TL;DR: The developed ECG system is economical and safe to use and can be used for monitor cardiovascular disease status for people suffering from arrhythmia as well as the athletes and soldiers can benefit to keep track of their heart condition.
Abstract: Biological signals from the human body play a significance role in monitoring health condition of person. Among these signals which are derived from heart are coined as Electrocardiogram (ECG). The ECG signals allow cardiologist physician to know about the condition of the heart such as stroke and arrhythmia. But the problem in existing ECG unit in hospital care unit have three to twelve electrodes system with the wet Ag/AgCl electrode which needs well trained person. The research objective is to develop and design self-monitoring ECG system with dual electrode from the finger site for people who are suffering from and have a history of a cardio abnormality at home or workplace. Since all biological signals have noise and low frequency so the acquired signal is passed through designed filter and amplifiers. Further acquired signal are display and analyzed interfacing with NI myDAQ and biomedical workbench. 20 subjects of age under 30year ECG signal are acquired using developed prototype and heart rate is calculated. The ECG signals from developed prototype are compared with conventional ECG unit and almost similar results are obtained. Hence, the developed prototype can be used for monitor cardiovascular disease status for people suffering from arrhythmia as well as the athletes and soldiers can benefit to keep track of their heart condition. The developed ECG system is economical and safe to use.

TL;DR: The comparative analysis of MATLAB results suggest that DB is better than HAAR wavelet transform based method to improve the medical images and make them much more useful.
Abstract: The medical images are commonly available on cloud by researchers and doctors for better diagnosis and find new cures to diseases. However, due to blurriness and noises presented in such images, the intended purpose is not served. This paper presents stationary wavelet transform based two techniques i.e. Daubechies (DB) and HAAR wavelets for Gaussian noise removal from medical images. The computer simulations are carried out on a set of 20 medical images. The remarkable rise in entropy value of every image is noticed. The comparative analysis of MATLAB results suggest that DB is better than HAAR wavelet transform based method to improve the medical images and make them much more useful.

TL;DR: This study focused on the reduction of broadband myopotentials (EMG) in ECG signals using the wavelet Wiener filtering with noise-free signal estimation and used the dyadic stationary wavelet transform (SWT) in the Wiener filter as well as in estimating the noise- free signal.
Abstract: In this study, we focused on the reduction of broadband myopotentials (EMG) in ECG signals using the wavelet Wiener filtering with noise-free signal estimation. We used the dyadic stationary wavelet transform (SWT) in the Wiener filter as well as in estimating the noise-free signal. Our goal was to find a suitable filter bank and to choose other parameters of the Wiener filter with respect to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained. Testing was performed on artificially noised signals from the standard CSE database sampled at 500 Hz. When creating an artificial interference, we started from the generated white Gaussian noise, whose power spectrum was modified according to a model of the power spectrum of an EMG signal. To improve the filtering performance, we used adaptive setting parameters of filtering according to the level of interference in the input signal. We were able to increase the average SNR of the whole test database by about 10.6 dB. The proposed algorithm provides better results than the classic wavelet Wiener filter.

TL;DR: The proposed technique demonstrates accurate beat classification in the presence of previously unseen (and unlearned) morphologies and noise, and provides an automated method for morphological analysis of arbitrary (unknown) ECG leads.
Abstract: Automatic processing and accurate diagnosis of pathological electrocardiogram (ECG) signals remains a challenge. As long-term ECG recordings continue to increase in prevalence, driven partly by the ease of remote monitoring technology usage, the need to automate ECG analysis continues to grow. In previous studies, a model-based ECG filtering approach to ECG data from healthy subjects has been applied to facilitate accurate online filtering and analysis of physiological signals. We propose an extension of this approach, which models not only normal and ventricular heartbeats, but also morphologies not previously encountered. A switching Kalman filter approach is introduced to enable the automatic selection of the most likely mode (beat type), while simultaneously filtering the signal using appropriate prior knowledge. Novelty detection is also made possible by incorporating a third mode for the detection of unknown (not previously observed) morphologies, and denoted as X-factor. This new approach is compared to state-of-the-art techniques for the ventricular heartbeat classification in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia and Incart databases. $F_1$ scores of $\mathbf {98.3\%}$ and $\mathbf {99.5\%}$ were found on each database, respectively, which are superior to other published algorithms’ results reported on the same databases. Only $\mathbf {3\%}$ of all the beats were discarded as X-factor, and the majority of these beats contained high levels of noise. The proposed technique demonstrates accurate beat classification in the presence of previously unseen (and unlearned) morphologies and noise, and provides an automated method for morphological analysis of arbitrary (unknown) ECG leads.

TL;DR: An automated classification algorithm which processes short duration epochs of the electrocardiogram (ECG) data and has been trained and tested on sleep apnea recordings from subjects with and without OSA and can be used as a basis for future development of a tool for OSA screening.
Abstract: Sleep apnea is the instance when one either has pauses of breathing in their sleep, or has very low breath while asleep. This pause in breathing can range in frequency and duration. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the common form of sleep apnea, which is currently tested through polysomnography (PSG) at sleep labs. PSG is both expensive and inconvenient as an expert human observer is required to work over night. New sleep apnea classification techniques are nowadays being developed by bioengineers for most comfortable and timely detection. This paper focuses on an automated classification algorithm which processes short duration epochs of the electrocardiogram (ECG) data. The presented classification technique is based on support vector machines (SVM) and has been trained and tested on sleep apnea recordings from subjects with and without OSA. The results show that our automated classification system can recognize epochs of sleep disorders with a high accuracy of 96.5% or higher. Furthermore, the proposed system can be used as a basis for future development of a tool for OSA screening.

30 Mar 2012TL;DR: In this paper, a denoising technique for ECG signals based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed, where the noisy ECG signal is initially decomposed into a set of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) using EMD method.
Abstract: The Electrocardiogram (ECG) shows the electrical activity of the heart and is used by physicians to inspect the heart's condition. Analysis of ECG becomes difficult if noise is embedded with signal during acquisition. In this paper, a denoising technique for ECG signals based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is proposed. The noisy ECG signal is initially decomposed into a set of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) using EMD method. In the proposed technique, the IMFs which are dominated by noise are automatically determined using Spectral Flatness (SF) measure and then filtered using butterworth filters to remove noise. This method is evaluated on ECG signals available in MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. The experiment results show that the proposed technique performs with better Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) than the commonly used Wavelet Transform based denoising technique.
