Early detection of arrhythmias is very important. Recently, wearable devices are being used to monitor the patient’s heartbeat to detect an arrhythmia. However, there are not satisfactory algorithms for real-time monitoring of arrhythmias in a wearable device. In this work, a novel fast and simple arrhythmia detection algorithm based on YOLO is proposed. The algorithm can detect each heartbeat on long-duration electrocardiogram (ECG) signals without R-peak detection and can classify an arrhythmia simultaneously. The model replaces the 2D Convolutional Neural networks (CNN) with a 1D CNN and the bounding box with a bounding window to utilize raw ECG signals. Results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high performance in speed and mean average precisionin detecting an arrhythmia. Furthermore, the bounding window can predict different window lengths on different types of arrhythmia. Therefore, the model can choose an optimal heartbeat window length for arrhythmia classification. Since the proposed model is a compact 1D CNN model based on YOLO, it can be used in a wearable device and embedded system.

This study aims to present an efficient model for autodetection of cardiac arrhythmia by the diagnosis of self-affinity and identification of governing processes of a number of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals taken from MIT-BIH database. In this work, the proposed model includes statistical methods to find the diagnosis pattern for detecting cardiac abnormalities which is useful for the computer aided system for arrhythmia detection. First, the Rescale Range (R/S) analysis has been employed for ECG signals to understand the scaling property of ECG signals. The value of Hurst exponent identifies the presence of abnormality in ECG signals taken for consideration with 92.58% accuracy. In this study, Higuchi method which deals with unifractality or monofractality of signals has been applied and it is found that unifractality is sufficient to detect arrhythmia with 91.61% accuracy. The Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) has been used over the present signals to identify and confirm the multifractality. The nature of multifractality is different for arrhythmia patients and normal heart condition. The multifractal analysis is useful to detect abnormalities with 93.75% accuracy. Finally, the autocorrelation analysis has been used to identify the prevalent governing process in the present arrhythmic ECG signals and study confirms that all the signals are governed by stationary autoregressive methods of certain orders. In order to increase the overall efficiency, this present model deals with analyzing all the statistical features extracted from different statistical techniques for a large number of ECG signals of normal and abnormal heart condition. Finally, the result of present analysis altogether possibly indicates that the proposed model is efficient to detect cardiac arrhythmia with 99.3% accuracy.

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.

The QT interval is the electrocardiographic representation of the duration of ventricular depolarization and repolarization. In this paper, we have developed a new real-time QT interval detection algorithm for automatically locating the onset of QRS and the end of the T wave. The algorithm consists of several steps: signal-to-noise enhancement, QRS detection, QRS onset, and T-wave end definition. The detection algorithm is tested on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from the universal MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The resulting QRS detection algorithm has a sensitivity of 99.79% and a specificity of 99.72%. The QRS onset and T-wave detection algorithm is tested using several data records from the MIT/BIH Arrhythmia Database. The results obtained are shown to be highly satisfactory.

Objective: The detection of QRS complexes is an important part of computer-aided analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG). However, most of the existing detection algorithms are mainly for single-lead ECG signals, which requires high quality of signal. If the signal quality decreases suddenly due to some interference, then the current algorithm is easy to cause misjudgment or missed detection. To improve the detection ability of QRS complexes under sudden interference, we study the QRS complexes information on multiple leads in-depth, and propose a two-lead joint detection algorithm of QRS complexes. Methods: Firstly, the suspected QRS complexes are screened on the main lead. For the suspected QRS complexes with low confidence and the complexes that may be missed, further accurate detection and joint judgment shall be carried out at the corresponding position of the auxiliary lead. At the same time, the adaptive threshold adjustment algorithm and backtracking mechanism are used to modify the detection results. Results: The proposed detection algorithm is validated using 48 ECG records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, and achieves average detection accuracy of 99.71%, sensitivity of 99.88% and positive predictivity of 99.81%. Conclusion: The proposed algorithm has high accuracy, which can effectively deal with the sudden interference of ECG signal. Meanwhile, the algorithm requires small amount of computation, and can be embedded into hardware for real-time detection.

This article introduces a new electrocardiogram (ECG) signal model based on geometric signal properties. Instead of the artificial functions used in common ECG models, the proposed model is based on the modelling of real ECG signals divided into time segments. Each segment has been modelled using simple geometrical forms. The final ECG signal model is represented by the sequence of parameters of the base functions. Parameter variations allow for the generation of different waveforms for each subsequent heartbeat without mixing up the PQRST waves order. Two basic models utilize slightly modified elementary functions, which are computationally simple. A combination of both models allows for the modelling of irregularities in the consecutive heartbeats of the specific ECG waveforms. Respiratory, noise, and powerline interference can be added in order to make the generated ECG signal more realistic. The model parameters are estimated by differential evolution optimization and a comparison between the modelled ECG and the acquired signal. The proposed models are tested by the database included in the LabVIEW Biomedical Toolkit and ECG records in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database.

One of the issues that the human body faces is arrhythmia, a condition where the human heartbeat is either irregular, too slow or too fast. One of the ways to diagnose arrhythmia is by using ECG signals, the best diagnostic tool for detection of arrhythmia. This paper describes a deep learning approach to check whether signs of arrhythmia, in a given input signal, are present or not. A batch normalized CNN is used to classify the ECG signals based on the different types of arrhythmia. The model has achieved 96.39% training accuracy and 97% testing accuracy. The ECG signals are classified into five classes namely: Normal beats, Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) beats, Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) beats, Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) beats and Paced beats. A peak detection algorithm with six simple steps is designed to detect R-peaks from the ECG signals. A hardware device is built using Raspberry Pi to acquire ECG signals, which are then sent to the trained CNN for classification. The data-set for training is obtained from the MIT-BIH repository. Keras and Tensorflow libraries are used to design and develop the CNN and an application is designed using ’MEAN’ stack and ’Flask’ based servers.

A video is composed of set of shots, where shot is defined as a sequence of consecutive frames captured by one camera without interruption. In video shot transition could be a prompt (hard cut) or gradual (fade, dissolve, and wipe). Shot boundary detection is an essential component of video processing. These boundaries are utilized on many aspect of video processing such as video indexing, and video in demand. In this paper, the authors proposed a new shot boundary detection algorithm. The proposed algorithm detects all type of shot boundaries in a high accuracy. The algorithm is developed based on a global stochastic model for video stream. The proposed stochastic model utilizes the joined characteristic function and consequently the joined momentum to model the video stream. The proposed algorithm is implemented and tested against different types of categorized videos. The proposed algorithm detects cuts fades, dissolves, and wipes transitions. Experimental results show that the algorithm has high performance. The computed precision and recall rates validated its performance.

Arrhythmia is a disorder of the heart caused by the erratic nature of heartbeats occurring due to conduction failures of the electrical signals in the cardiac muscle. In recent years, research galore has been done towards accurate categorization of heartbeats and electrocardiogram (ECG)-based heartbeat processing. Accurate categorization of different heartbeats is an important step for diagnosis of arrhythmia. This paper primarily focuses on effective feature extraction of the ECG signals for model performance enhancement using an unsupervised Deep Belief Network (DBN) pipelined onto a simple Logistic Regression (LR) classifier. We compare and evaluate the results of data feature enrichment against plain, non-enriched data based on the metrics of precision, recall, specificity, and F1-score and report the extent of increase in performance. Also, we compare the performance of the DBN-LR pipeline with a 1D convolution technique and find that the DBN-LR algorithm achieves a 5% and 10% increase in accuracy when compared to 1D convolution and no feature extraction using DBN respectively.
