Artifact elimination in ECG signal using wavelet transform

Abstract

Electrocardiogram signal is the electrical actvity of the heart and doctors can diagnose heart disease based on this electrocardiogram signal. However, the electrocardiogram signals often have noise and artifact components. Therefore, one electrocardiogram signal without the noise and artifact plays an important role in heart disease diagnosis with more accurate results. This paper proposes a wavelet transform with three stages of decomposition, filter, and reconstruction for eliminating the noise and artifact in the electrocardiogram signal. The signal after decomposing produces approximation and detail coefficients, which contains the frequency ranges of the noise and artifact components. Hence, the approximation and detail coefficients with the frequency ranges corresponding to the noise and artifact in the electrocardiogram signal are eliminated by filters before they are reconstructed. For the evaluation of the proposed algorithm, filter evaluation metrics are applied, in which signal-to-noise ratio and mean squared error along with power spectral density are employed. The simulation results show that the proposed wavelet algorithm at level 8 is effective, in which the with the "dmey" wavelet function was selected be the best based power spectrum density.

Evaluation of the carotid artery using wavelet-based analysis of the pulse wave signal

“…Besides the DWT, the CWT is another method that decomposes the CAPW signal into time-shifted scaled basis functions (i.e., wavelets). The CWT is a tool that offers an over-complete representation of a signal by allowing the translation and scale parameter of the wavelets vary continuously [29]. The CWT, of the arterial signal s(t) at a scale and translational value b is expressed by the integral.…”

“…The main purpose of the mother wavelet is to provide a source function to create different daughter wavelets for different b and a parameters, which are simply the translated and scaled versions of the mother wavelet. CWT has shown effective capabilities in determining the damping ratio of oscillating signals (e.g., identification of damping in dynamic systems) and robust resistance to the noise embedded in the signal [29], [30]. The output after CWT decomposition is the real matrix XW using the wavelet type "Daubechies".…”

Deep Learning Framework with ECG Feature-Based Kernels for Heart Disease Classification

“…In particular, one ECG signal is sampled at the 360 Hz frequency using Nyquist's theorem for collecting the maximum frequency of 180 Hz. In addition, the frequency of approximation and detail coefficients in each decomposition level are described as in [38], [39]. In the approximation component with the very low frequency a m , the decomposition of level-m and a hard threshold λ a are utilized for eliminating the noise from the approximation m a using the following formula…”

Analysis on Food Crispness Based on Time and Frequency Domain Features of Acoustic Signal

“…Huang et al [15] captured the frequency features of seismic waves accurately through wavelet denoising. Nguyen et al [16] removed the noise from electrocardiogram signal, thereby eliminating contrasts and improving diagnosis accuracy. Khullar et al [17] proposed a novel three-dimensional (3D) wavelet denoising algorithm, which removes the noise from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data with the aid of wavelet transform and signal estimation theory.…”
