The Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal records the electrical activity of the heart. It is very difficult for physicians to analyze the ECG signal if noise is embedded during acquisition to inspect the heart’s condition. The denoising of electrocardiogram signals based on the genetic particle filter algorithm(GPFA) using fuzzy thresholding and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is proposed in this paper, which efficiently removes noise from the ECG signal. This paper proposes a two-phase scheme for eliminating noise from the ECG signal. In the first phase, the noisy signal is decomposed into a true intrinsic mode function (IMFs) with the help of EEMD. EEMD is better than EMD because it removes the mode-mixing effect. In the second phase, IMFs which are corrupted by noise is obtained by using spectral flatness of each IMF and fuzzy thresholding. The corrupted IMFs are filtered using a GPF method to remove the noise. Then, the signal is reconstructed with the processed IMFs to get the de-noised ECG. The proposed algorithm is analyzed for a different local hospital database, and it gives better root mean square error and signal to noise ratio than other existing techniques (Wavelet transform (WT), EMD, Particle filter(PF) based method, extreme-point symmetric mode decomposition with Nonlocal Means(ESMD-NLM), and discrete wavelet with Savitzky-Golay(DW-SG) filter).

Abstract This study explores the data-driven properties of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for signal denoising. EMD is an acknowledged procedure which has been widely used for non-stationary and nonlinear signal processing. The main idea of the EMD method is to decompose the analyzed signal into components without using expansion functions. This is a signal dependent representation and provides intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) as components. These are analyzed, through their Hurst exponent and if they are found being noisy components they will be partially or integrally eliminated. This study presents an EMD decomposition-based filtering procedure applied to test signals, the results are evaluated through signal to noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE). The obtained results are compared with discrete wavelet transform based filtering results.

SUMMARYThis paper proposes a precise outdoor localization algorithm with the integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS). To achieve precise outdoor localization, two schemes are recently proposed, which consist of de-noising the INS signals and fusing the GPS and INS data. To reduce the noise from the internal INS sensors, the discrete wavelet transform and variable threshold method are utilized, and to fuse the GPS and INS data while filtering out the noise caused by the acceleration, deceleration, and unexpected slips, the Unscented Particle Filter (UPF) is adopted. Conventional de-noising methods mainly employ a combination of low-pass and high-pass filters, which results in signal distortion. This newly proposed system also utilizes the vibration information of the actuator according to the fluctuations of the velocity to minimize the signal distortion. The UPF resolves the nonlinearities of the actuator and non-normal distributions of the noise more effectively than the conventional particle filter (PF) or Extended Kalman Filter–PF. The superiority of the proposed algorithm was verified through experiments, and the results are reported.

The Given

ECG signal is a physiological signal mainly used for the diagnosis of abnormalities in the functioning of the heart. There are limitations in detecting the nonlinearities due to the presence of noises in the ECG signal. In our work, the de-noised signal coefficients obtained from different de-noising methods are optimized for reducing the error and redundancy, and are then classified as normal or abnormal signals. The ECG signal is obtained from the PhysioBank dataset and the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The two methods used are the Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The optimization is done using Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm and the classification is performed by Feed Forward Neural Network using back propagation (FFBP). The performances are evaluated in terms of standard metrics namely, Mean Square Error (MSE) and Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR). The results suggest that although SWT performs better than other de-noising techniques, the two methods correctly classify the given ECG signal of a monitored patient as a normal or abnormal signal.

In the present work, processing of an electro cardio signal using a wavelet transform is consi-dered. In electrocardiography, various digital signal-processing techniques are used to detect, extract, and analyze the various components of an electrocardiogram. Among them, the wavelet transform technique gives promising results in the analysis of the time-frequency characteristics of the electrocardiogram components. The urgency of solving the problem of improving the quality of life of people with the help of early diagnosis and timely treatment of various cardiac diseases is obvious. The process of automated analysis of a huge database of electrocardiographic data is especially important. Wavelet analysis can be successfully used to smooth and remove noise in the ECG signal. Electrocardiogram signal, cleaned from noise components, looks clearer, while its volume is from 10 to 5% of the original signal, which largely solves the problem of storing cardiac records. Aim. Development of an algorithm for threshold processing of wavelet coefficients and filtering of an electrocardiography signal. Materials and methods. Cardiograms were taken for analysis. Then they were digitized and entered into a computer for processing. A program was written in the MATLAB environment that implements continuous and discrete wavelet transform. Results. The work shows the result of filtering the ECG signal with the addition of noise with a signal-to-noise ratio of 35 and 45 dB using the decomposition levels N = 2, N = 3, N = 4. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, it can be concluded that the second level of decomposition is the most optimal for filtering the ECG signal. With an increase in the level of decomposition, the output ratio decreases, at the level N = 4 the output signal-to-noise almost does not exceed the input one, therefore, the filtering becomes ineffective. The correlation coefficient to the fourth level is significantly reduced, which means a significant increase in the distortion introduced by the filtering algorithm.

When studying underwater acoustic exploration, tracking and positioning, the target signals collected by hydrophones are often submerged in strong intermittent noise and environmental noise. In this paper, an algorithm that combines empirical mode decomposition and wavelet transform is proposed to achieve the efficient extraction of target signals in the environment with strong noise. First the calibration of baseline drift is performed on the algorithm, and then it is decomposed into different intrinsic mode functions via empirical mode. The wavelet threshold processing is conducted according to the correlation coefficient of each mode component and the original signal, and finally the signals are reconstructed. The simulation and experiment results show that compared with the conventional empirical mode decomposition method and wavelet threshold method, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low and there exist high-frequency intermittent jamming and baseline drift, the combined algorithm can better extract the target signal, laying the foundation for direction-of-arrival estimation and target positioning in the next step.

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most frequent and dangerous problems in modern society in nowadays. Unfortunately electrocardiograms (ECG) signals, during their acquisition process, are affected by various types of noise and artifacts due to the movement, or breathing of the patient, electrode contact, power-line interferences, etc. The aim of this study was to develop an algorithm to remove electrode motion artifact in ECG signals. Donoho and Johnstone proposed Wavelet thresholding de-noising method based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is suitable for non-stationary signals. The wavelet transform coefficient is processed by using grey relation analysis of the grey theory, and a new wavelet threshold method namely wavelet threshold method with grey incidence degree (GID) (or the GID threshold method) based is introduced. It shows that the signal smoothness and similarity of the two signal criteria have been greatly improved by the GID threshold method compared with existing threshold methods. According to the characteristics of different ECG signals, GID threshold method gets better results than it can adaptively deal with noise separation and details remaining of the two opposing signal problems, so as to provide a better choice for wavelet threshold methods of signal processing. Performance analysis was performed by evaluating Mean Square Error (MSE), Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and visual inspection over the denoised signal from each algorithm. The experimental result shows that GID hard shrinkage method with sub-band or level dependent thresholding gives the best denoising performance on ECG signal. The result shows that soft threshold not always gives better denoising performance; it depends on which wavelet thresholding algorithm was chosen.

We consider the problem of electrocardiogram (ECG) denoising using source separation. In this study, a hybrid technique using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and source separation, is proposed. This technique consists of two steps, the first step consists in applying the EMD to two different mixtures. These mixtures are obtained by corrupting in additive manner, the same ECG signal by a white Gaussian noise with two different values of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The second step consists in computing the entropy of each obtained intrinsic mode function (IMF) and finds the two IMFs having the minimal entropy. These two IMFs are used to estimate the separation matrix of the ECG signal from noise by using the source separation. The proposed technique is evaluated by comparing it to the denoising technique based on source separation in time domain using runica and the technique based on Bionic wavelet transform (BWT) and also using source separation. The obtained results from SNR and the mean square error (MSE) computations, show that the proposed technique outperforms the other two techniques used in this evaluation.

ECG is very important tool for diagnosis of heart disease, this signal is suffered from different types of noises such as baseline wander (BW), muscle artifact (MA) and electrode motion (EM) , which lead to wrong interpretation. In order to prevent or reduce the effect of these noises, different approaches have been applied to enhance the ECG signal. In this paper, we have proposed a new method for ECG signal de-noising based on deep learning Auto encoder (DL-DAE) and wavelet transform named as (WT-DAE). The proposed system (WT-DAE) is constructed from two stages, in the first stage, the wavelet transform is used to isolate the most significant coefficient of the signal (approximation sub-band) from de-tails coefficients (details sub-band). The details coefficients is fed to new proposed threshold method , which is used to evaluate the threshold value according to the feature of ECG signal, this threshold value is used to threshold the detail coefficients, in order to remove the details noise that is contained as high frequencly component , then invers wavelet transform is used to reconstruct the signal . Different wavelet filters and threshold functions are applied in this stage. The second stage of signal de-noising is performed by using DAE method, which is designed for reconstruct the de-noised sig-nal. The proposed DAE model is constructed from 14 layers of convolutional, relu and max_ pooling layer with different parameters. We perform training and testing the model with MIT-BIH ECG database and the performance of the pro-posed system is evaluated by terms of MSE, RMSE, PRD and PSNR. The experimental results are compared with other approaches and show that, the proposed system demonstrated the superiority for de-noising ECG signal.

Now a days ECG signal plays an important role in the primary diagnosis and analysis of cardiac diseases and abnormalities present in the heart. Due to the presence of artifacts, the analysis of the ECG is difficult. Therefore, undesirable noise and signals should be removed or eliminated from the ECG in order to ensure proper analysis and diagnosis. Denoising is the process s used to separate original ECG signal from noise to obtain desired noise-free signal. In this paper to eliminate Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) a hybrid approach EMD-DWT (Empirical mode Decomposition-Discrete Wavelet Transform) is used. To measure the performance RMSE, SNR, PSNR and CC values are used and all the simulations are carried out using MATLAB.
