In this paper, an analysis of RPCA, MRA and ICA methods for motion artifact identification in AECG signals is preformed. First we applied a RPCA to ECG signal with synthesis motion artifact by low-pass filtering random noise signal. In the process, we have verified that the RPCA error magnitude is significantly greater for the noisy episodes as compared to the clean ECG signal portions. We used 25 data-sets from Physionet website and also used recorded AECG of five person of different physical activity for AECG analysis. We used wavelet for AECG signal denoising. and then ICA, technique used for removal of motion artifacts of synthesized ECG data of MIT- BIH and of AECG signals.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used for the diagnosis of heart diseases. However, ECG signals are easily contaminated by different noises. This paper presents efficient denoising and compressed sensing (CS) schemes for ECG signals based on basis pursuit (BP). In the process of signal denoising and reconstruction, the low-pass filtering method and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) optimization algorithm are used. This method introduces dual variables, adds a secondary penalty term, and reduces constraint conditions through alternate optimization to optimize the original variable and the dual variable at the same time. This algorithm is able to remove both baseline wander and Gaussian white noise. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated through the records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The simulations show that the proposed ADMM-based method performs better in ECG denoising. Furthermore, this algorithm keeps the details of the ECG signal in reconstruction and achieves higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and smaller mean square error (MSE).

The automatic recognition of QRS complexes in an Electrocardiography (ECG) signal is a critical step in any programmed ECG signal investigation, particularly when the ECG signal taken from the pregnant women additionally contains the signal of the fetus and some motion artifact signals. Separation of ECG signals of mother and fetus and investigation of the cardiac disorders of the mother are demanding tasks, since only one single device is utilized and it gets a blend of different heart beats. In order to resolve such problems we propose a design of new reconfigurable Subtractive Savitzky–Golay (SSG) filter with Digital Processor Back-end (DBE) in this paper. The separation of signals is done using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithm and then the motion artifacts are removed from the extracted mother’s signal. The combinational use of SSG filter and DBE enhances the signal quality and helps in detecting the QRS complex from the ECG signal particularly the R peak accurately. The experimental results of ECG signal analysis show the importance of our proposed method.

In non-parametric signal denoising area, empirical mode decomposition is potentially useful. In this paper, the wavelet thresholding principle is directly used in EMD-based denoising. The basic principle of the method is to reconstruct the signal with IMFs previously thresholded. A novel threshold function is proposed to improve denoising effect by exploiting the special characteristics of the hard and soft thresholding method. The denoising method is validated through experiments on the “Doppler” signal and a real ECG signal from MIT-BIH databases corrupted by additive white Gaussian random noise. The simulations show that the proposed EMD-based method provides very good results for denoising.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are crucial for determining the health status of the human heart. A clean ECG signal is critical in analysis and diagnosis of heart diseases. However, ECG signals are often contaminated by motion artifact noise in the non-contact ECG monitoring systems. In this paper, an ECG motion artifact removal approach based on empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and wavelet thresholding (WT) is proposed. This method consists of five steps, namely, spectrum preprocessing, spectrum segmentation, EWT decomposition, wavelet threshold denoising, and EWT reconstruction. The proposed approach was used to process real ECG signals collected by the non-contact ECG monitoring equipment. The results of quantitative study and analysis indicate that this approach produces a better performance in terms of restorage of QRS complexes of the original ECG with reduced distortion, retaining useful information in ECG signals, and improvement of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value of the signal. The output results of the practical ECG signal test show that motion artifact in the real recorded ECG is effectively filtered out. The proposed method is feasible for reducing motion artifacts from ECG signals, whether from simulation ECG signals or practical non-contact ECG monitoring systems.

The low-magnitude microseismic signals generated by fracture initiation are generally buried in strong background noise, which complicates their interpretation. Thus, noise suppression is a significant step. We have developed an effective multicomponent, multidimensional microseismic-data denoising method by conducting a simplified polarization analysis in the 3D shearlet transform domain. The 3D shearlet transform is very competitive in dealing with multidimensional data because it captures details of signals at different scales and orientations, which benefits signal and noise separation. We have developed a novel processing strategy based on a signal-detection operator that can effectively identify signal coefficients in the shearlet domain by taking the correlation and energy distribution of 3C microseismic signals into account. We perform tests on synthetic and real data sets and determine that the proposed method can effectively remove random noise and preserve weak signals.
