Arrhythmia is a heart condition that occurs due to abnormalities in the heartbeat, which means that the heart's electrical signals do not work properly, resulting in an irregular heartbeat or rhythm and thus defeating the pumping of blood. Some cases of arrhythmia are not considered serious, while others are very dangerous, life-threatening, and cause death in a short period of time. In the clinical routine, cardiac arrhythmia detection is performed by electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The ECG is a significant diagnosis tool that is used to record the electrical activity of the heart, and its signals can reveal abnormal heart activity. However, because of their small amplitude and duration, visual interpretation of ECG signals is difficult. As a result, we present a significant approach for identifying arrhythmias using ECG signals. In this study, we proposed an approach based on Deep Learning (DL) technology that is a framework of nine-layer one-dimension Conventional Neural Network (1D CNN) for classifying automatically ECG signals into four cardiac conditions named: normal (N), Atrial Premature Beat (APB), Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB), and Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB). The practical test of this work was executed with the benchmark MIT-BIH database. We achieved an average accuracy of 99%, precision of 98%, recall of 96.5%, specificity of 99.08%, and an F1-score of 95.75%. The obtained results were compared with some relevant models, and they showed that the proposed framework outperformed those models in some measures. The new approach’s performance indicates its success. Also, it has been shown that deep convolutional neural networks can be used efficiently in automated detection and, therefore, cardiovascular disease protection as well as help cardiologists in medical practice by saving time and effort.

Cardiovascular disease is the number one deadly disease in the world. Arrhythmia is one of the types of cardiovascular disease which is hard to detect but by using the routine electrocardiogram (ECG) recording. Due to the variety and the noise of ECG, it is very time consuming to detect it only by experts using bare eyes.Learning from the previous research in order to help the experts, this research develop 11 layers Convolutional Neural Network 2D (CNN 2D) using MITBIH Arrhythmia Dataset. The dataset is firstly preprocessed by using wavelet transform method, then being segmented by R-peak method. The challenge is how to conquer the imbalance and small amount of data but still get the optimal accuracy. This research can be helpful in helping the doctors figure out the type of arrhythmia of the patient. Therefore, this research did the comparison of various optimizers attach in CNN 2D namely, Adabound, Adadelta, Adagrad, Amsbound, Adam and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The result is Adabound get the highest performance with 91% accuracy and faster 1s training duration than Adam which is approximately 18s per epoch.

Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can be used to classify electrocardiogram (ECG) beats in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, ECG signals are typically processed as one-dimensional signals while CNNs are better suited to multidimensional pattern or image recognition applications. In this study, the morphology and rhythm of heartbeats are fused into a two-dimensional information vector for subsequent processing by CNNs that include adaptive learning rate and biased dropout methods. The results demonstrate that the proposed CNN model is effective for detecting irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias via automatic feature extraction. When the proposed model was tested on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, the model achieved higher performance than other state-of-the-art methods for five and eight heartbeat categories (the average accuracy was 99.1% and 97%). In particular, the proposed system had better performance in terms of the sensitivity and positive predictive rate for V beats by more than 4.3% and 5.4%, respectively, and also for S beats by more than 22.6% and 25.9%, respectively, when compared to existing algorithms. It is anticipated that the proposed method will be suitable for implementation on portable devices for the e-home health monitoring of cardiovascular disease.

Although fingerprint-based systems are the commonly used biometric systems, they suffer from a critical vulnerability to a presentation attack (PA). Therefore, several approaches based on a fingerprint biometrics have been developed to increase the robustness against a PA. We propose an alternative approach based on the combination of fingerprint and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. An ECG signal has advantageous characteristics that prevent the replication. Combining a fingerprint with an ECG signal is a potentially interesting solution to reduce the impact of PAs in biometric systems. We also propose a novel end-to-end deep learning-based fusion neural architecture between a fingerprint and an ECG signal to improve PA detection in fingerprint biometrics. Our model uses state-of-the-art EfficientNets for generating a fingerprint feature representation. For the ECG, we investigate three different architectures based on fully-connected layers (FC), a 1D-convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), and a 2D-convolutional neural network (2D-CNN). The 2D-CNN converts the ECG signals into an image and uses inverted Mobilenet-v2 layers for feature generation. We evaluated the method on a multimodal dataset, that is, a customized fusion of the LivDet 2015 fingerprint dataset and ECG data from real subjects. Experimental results reveal that this architecture yields a better average classification accuracy compared to a single fingerprint modality.

The application of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) in the field of medical image processing has attracted extensive attention and demonstrated remarkable progress. An increasing number of deep learning methods have been devoted to classifying ChestX-ray (CXR) images, and most of the existing deep learning methods are based on classic pretrained models, trained by global ChestX-ray images. In this paper, we are interested in diagnosing ChestX-ray images using our proposed Fusion High-Resolution Network (FHRNet). The FHRNet concatenates the global average pooling layers of the global and local feature extractors—it consists of three branch convolutional neural networks and is fine-tuned for thorax disease classification. Compared with the results of other available methods, our experimental results showed that the proposed model yields a better disease classification performance for the ChestX-ray 14 dataset, according to the receiver operating characteristic curve and area-under-the-curve score. An ablation study further confirmed the effectiveness of the global and local branch networks in improving the classification accuracy of thorax diseases.

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of deep models in biometrics using scalogram of electrocardiogram (ECG). A scalogram is the absolute value of the continuous wavelet transform coefficients of a signal. Since biometrics using ECG signals are sensitive to noise, studies have been conducted by transforming signals into a frequency domain that is efficient for analyzing noisy signals. By transforming the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain using the wavelet, the 1-D signal becomes a 2-D matrix, and it could be analyzed at multiresolution. However, this process makes signal analysis morphologically complex. This means that existing simple classifiers could perform poorly. We investigate the possibility of using the scalogram of ECG as input to deep convolutional neural networks of deep learning, which exhibit optimal performance for the classification of morphological imagery. When training data is small or hardware is insufficient for training, transfer learning can be used with pretrained deep models to reduce learning time, and classify it well enough. In this paper, AlexNet, GoogLeNet, and ResNet are considered as deep models of convolutional neural network. The experiments are performed on two databases for performance evaluation. Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)-ECG is a well-known database, while Chosun University (CU)-ECG is directly built for this study using the developed ECG sensor. The ResNet was 0.73%—0.27% higher than AlexNet or GoogLeNet on PTB-ECG—and the ResNet was 0.94%—0.12% higher than AlexNet or GoogLeNet on CU-ECG.

In this paper, the analysis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is carried out according a non-linear approach. This concerns the eventual fractal behavior of such signal and the correlation of such behavior with normal and pathological ECG signals. The analysis is carried out on different ECG signals taken from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. In fact these signals are those of six subjects with different ages and presenting both normal and abnormal arrhythmias situations. The abnormal situations are atrial premature beat (APB), premature ventricular contraction (PVC), right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block (LBBB). The fractal behavior of these signals is analyzed according to the determination of the multifractal spectrum and the fractal dimension variations and looking for eventually a fractal signature of each heart disease and age of the subject. The obtained results show a fractal signature according to the age and the pathologies for the studied cases. However further investigations are required on larger databases to confirm such results.

Standard Electrocardiogram (ECG) database is created for validating and comparing different algorithms on feature detection and disease classification. At present, there are four frequently used standard databases: MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, QT database, CSE multi-lead database and AHA database. With the development in equipment and diagnosis approach, severe deficiencies are discovered and a new modern ECG database is needed for further research. So Chinese Cardiovascular Disease Database (CCDD or CCD database), which contains 12-Lead ECG data, detailed annotation features and beat diagnosis result is proposed. It is advanced for not only improving the raw ECG data's technical parameters, but also introducing valuable morphology features which are utilized by experienced cardiologists effectively. CCDD is employed by our group as well as aiming for supporting other research groups that work in automated ECG analysis.

Groundnut is one of the most important and popular oilseed foods in the agricultural field, and its botanical name is Arachis hypogaea L. Approximately, the pod of mature groundnut contains 1–5 seeds with 57% of oil and 25% of protein content. Groundnut cultivation is affected by different kinds of diseases such as fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Hence, these diseases affect the leaf, root, and stem of the groundnut plant and it leads to heavy loss in yield. Moreover, the enlarger number of diseases affects the leaf and root-like Alternaria, Pestalotiopsis, Bud necrosis, tikka, Phyllosticta, Rust, Pepper spot, Choanephora, early and late leaf spot. To overcome these issues, we introduce an efficient method of convolutional neural network (CNN) because it automatically detects the important features without any human supervision. The proposed methodology can deeply detect plant disease by using a deep learning process. Ultimately, the groundnut disease classification with its overall performance of the proposed methodology provides 96% accuracy.
