In this paper, proposed a new approach of combining the hybrid soft computing technique called Adaptive Symlet Wavelet Transform (ASWT) filter. The baseline wanders (BW) noise removal from an ECG signals to minimize distortion of the S-T segment of the ECG signal specially that have high sampling frequencies. Therefore, when using Symlet Wavelet Transform (SWT) to analysis the ECG signal can cause problems to analysis, exclusively when examining the content of the ECG signal at low-frequency such as S-T segment. The corresponding frequency components of the approximation coefficients at level number seven are (0-3.9) Hz. Since the BW frequency is below 0.5 Hz and ST segment frequency between (0.67-4) Hz. The adaptive filter with a unity reference signal used to remove the BW noise below 0.5 Hz from the lowest level of the approximation coefficient of the decomposed ECG signal. The denoising output from adaptive filter and the output from SWT (the other detail coefficients) will use as an input to ISWT for reconstruction ECG signals with the remove BW signal. This method represents a very effective filter for BW noise removal, as it does not need for any computation process of reference point.

Electric Signals

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is the electrical recording of coronary heart activity. It is a common routine and vital cardiac diagnostic tool in which in electric signals are measured and recorded to recognize the practical status of heart, but ECG signal can be distorted with noise as, numerous artifacts corrupt the unique ECG signal and decreases it quality. Consequently, there may be a need to eliminate such artifacts from the authentic signal and enhance its quality for better interpretation. ECG signals are very low frequency signals of approximately 0.5Hz-100Hz and digital filters are used as efficient approach for noise removal of such low frequency signals. Noise may be any interference because of movement artifacts or due to power device that are present wherein ECG has been taken. Consequently, ECG signal processing has emerged as a common and effective tool for research and clinical practices. This paper gives the comparative evaluation of FIR and IIR filters and their performances from the ECG signal for proper understanding and display of the ECG signal.

Line Interference

Power line interference is the main noise source that contaminates Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and measurements. In recent years, adaptive filters with different approaches have been investigated to eliminate power line interference in ECG waveforms. Adaptive line enhancement filter is a special type of adaptive filter that, unlike other adaptive filters, does not require a reference signal and has potential application in ECG signal filtering. In this paper, a selflearning filter based on an adaptive line enhancement (ALE) filter is proposed to remove power line interference in ECG signals. We simulate the adaptive filter in MATLwith a noisy ECG signal and analyze the performance of algorithms in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement. The proposed algorithm is validated with Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) ECG signals database. Additive white gaussian noise is added to the raw ECG signal. Influential parameters on the ALE filter performance such as filter delay, the convergence factor, and the filter length are analyzed and discussed.

The stress Electrocardiogram (ECG) gives more efficient results for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, which may not be apparent when the patients are at rest. However, the noise produced by the movement of the patient and the environment often contaminates the ECG signal. Motion artifact is the most prevalent and difficult type of interference to filter in stress test ECG. It corrupts the quality of the desired signal thus reducing the reliability of the stress test. In this work, we first describe a quantitative study of adaptive filtering for processing the stress ECG signals. The proposed method uses the motion information obtained from a 3-axis accelerometer as a noise reference signal for the adaptive filter and the optimal weight of the adaptive filter is adjusted by the Modified Error Data Normalized Step-Size (MEDNSS) algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on the stress ECG signal from the subject.

Classification of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals plays a significant role in the identification of the functioning of the heart. This work pertains with the ECG signals, where the classifier is developed for identification of normal or abnormal conditions of the heart. The raw ECG signals are collected from an online database (www.physioNet.org) for classification. The raw ECG signal is pre-processed for noise removal, and the frequency spectrum is analysed to compare raw and denoised ECG signal. Attributes (P, Q, R, S, T time intervals) from denoised ECG signal is analysed and classified using Convolution Neural Network (CNN). The paper reports a classification technique to differentiate ECG signals from the MIT-BIH database (arrhythmia database, arrhythmia p-wave annotations, atrial fibrillation). The CNN analyses the deviation between nominal ranges of attributes (amplitude and time interval) and classifies between the abnormality and normal ECG wave. This work provides a simple method for interpreting ECG related condition for the clinician and helps medical practitioners to make diagnostic decisions.

This study explored the performance of multiscale entropy (MSE) for the assessment of mobile ECG signal quality, aiming to provide a reasonable application guideline. Firstly, the MSE for the typical noises, that is, high frequency (HF) noise, low frequency (LF) noise, and power-line (PL) noise, was analyzed. The sensitivity of MSE to the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the synthetic artificial ECG plus different noises was further investigated. The results showed that the MSE values could reflect content level of various noises contained in the ECG signals. For the synthetic ECG plus LF noise, the MSE was sensitive to SNR within higher range of scale factor. However, for the synthetic ECG plus HF noise, the MSE was sensitive to SNR within lower range of scale factor. Thus, a recommended scale factor range within 5 to 10 was given. Finally, the results were verified on the real ECG signals, which were derived from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database and Noise Stress Test Database. In all, MSE could effectively assess the noise level on the real ECG signals, and this study provided a valuable reference for applying MSE method to the practical signal quality assessment of mobile ECG.

The main purpose of this study is to present a novel personal authentication approach with the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The electrocardiogram is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart and the recorded signals can be used for individual verification because ECG signals of one person are never the same as those of others. The discrete wavelet transform was applied for extracting features that are the wavelet coefficients derived from digitized signals sampled from one-lead ECG signal. By the proposed approach applied on 35 normal subjects and 10 arrhythmia patients, the verification rate was 100% for normal subjects and 81% for arrhythmia patients. Furthermore, the performance of the ECG verification system was evaluated by the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). The FAR was 0.83% and FRR was 0.86% for a database containing only 35 normal subjects. When 10 arrhythmia patients were added into the database, FAR was 12.50% and FRR was 5.11%. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach worked well for normal subjects. For this reason, it can be concluded that ECG used as a biometric measure for personal identity verification is feasible.

Filtering Effect

Due to the fact that it is not easy to filter out the spectrum overlap noise between noisy signal and noise by using the traditional wavelet method, an adaptive filter model based on the wavelet transform is constructed in this paper. In the new filter, the adaptive filter is used to filter out noise secondary on the basis of wavelet denoising on the original noise signal. The experimental results show that the filter can effectively remove the noise. The new filter is applied to the denoising of the ECG signal, achieving a better filtering effect.
