scholarly journals Classification of Heart Arrhythmia in ECG Signals using PCA and SVM

Electro cardiogram (ECG) signals records the vital information about the condition of heart of an individual. In this paper, we are aiming at preparing a model for classification of different types of heart arrhythmia. The MIT-BIH public database for heart arrhythmia has been used in the case of study. There are basically thirteen types of heart arrhythmia. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm has been used to collect various important features of heart beats from an ECG signal. Then these features are trained and tested under Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm to classify the thirteen classes of heart arrhythmia. In the paper the proposed algorithm has been discussed and the outcome results have been validated. The result shows that the accuracy of our classifier in our research work is more than 91% in most of the cases.

Electrocardiogram is the measure of heart electrical activity. Our heart generate electrical signals which we used to calculate heart activity .The electrical signals of heart are transformed into waveforms which are used to measure various heart conditions. We have various techniques which we used to analyze and classified the ECG signals in MATLAB. There are many types of heart Arrhythmia like Tachycardia in which heart rate is too fast, Bradycardia in which heart rate is too slow, Atrial Fibrillation, Atrial Flutter, Ventricular Fibrillation,Permature contractions these all conditions can easily classified in Matlab by using some proper approach. We have techniques like Wavelet transform, Graphical user interface using wavelet transform toolbox, Support vector machine, Convolutional neural network, Discrete cosine transform. To improve the order execution, molecule swarm improvement method is utilized for progressively tuning the learning parameters of the SVM classifier. This paper gives brief survey on different techniques for analysis and classification of ECG signals. Wavelet Transform gives more accuracy and precise result. And we analyze MATLAB software is a best approach for analysis and classification of ECG signals.

The number and position of sEMG electrodes have been studied extensively due to the need to improve the accuracy of the classification they carry out of the intention of movement. Nevertheless, increasing the number of channels used for this classification often increases their processing time as well. This research work contributes with a comparison of the classification accuracy based on the different number of sEMG signal channels (one to four) placed in the right lower limb of healthy subjects. The analysis is performed using Mean Absolute Values, Zero Crossings, Waveform Length, and Slope Sign Changes; these characteristics comprise the feature vector. The algorithm used for the classification is the Support Vector Machine after applying a Principal Component Analysis to the features. The results show that it is possible to reach more than 90% of classification accuracy by using 4 or 3 channels. Moreover, the difference obtained with 500 and 1000 samples, with 2, 3 and 4 channels, is not higher than 5%, which means that increasing the number of channels does not guarantee 100% precision in the classification.

The purpose of this study is to investigate computer vision and machine learning methods for classification of orthodontic images in order to provide orthodontists with a solution for multi-class classification of patients’ images to evaluate the evolution of their treatment. Of which, we proposed three algorithms based on extracted features, such as facial features and skin colour using YCbCrcolour space, assigned to nodes of a decision tree to classify orthodontic images: an algorithm for intra-oral images, an algorithm for mould images and an algorithm for extra-oral images. Then, we compared our method by implementing the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) algorithm to extract textural features from images. After that, we applied the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm to optimize the redundant parameters in order to classify LBP features with six classifiers; Quadratic Support Vector Machine (SVM), Cubic SVM, Radial Basis Function SVM, Cosine K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Euclidian KNN, and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The presented algorithms have been evaluated on a dataset of images of 98 different patients, and experimental results demonstrate the good performances of our proposed method with a high accuracy compared with machine learning algorithms. Where LDA classifier achieves an accuracy of 84.5%.

Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an electrical signal that contains data about the state and functions of the heart and can be used to diagnose various types of arrhythmias effectively. The modeling and simulation of ECG under different conditions are significant to understand the function of the cardiovascular system and in the diagnosis of heart diseases. Arrhythmia is a severe peril to the patient recovering from acute myocardial infarction. The reliable detection of arrhythmia is a challenge for a cardiovascular diagnostic system. As a result, a considerable amount of research has focused on the development of algorithms for the accurate diagnosis of arrhythmias. In this paper, a system for the classification of arrhythmia is developed by employing the probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA) model. Initially, the cluster head is selected for the effective transmission of ECG signals of patients using the adaptive fractional artificial bee colony algorithm, and multipath routing for transmission is selected using the fractional bee BAT algorithm. Features such as wavelet features, Gabor transform, empirical mode decomposition, and linear predictive coding features are extracted from the ECG signal with high dimension (which are reduced using PPCA) and finally given to the proposed classifier called adaptive genetic-bat (AGB) support vector neural network (which is trained using the AGB algorithm) for arrhythmia detection. The experimentation of the proposed system is done based on evaluation metrics, such as the number of alive nodes, normalized network energy, goodput, and accuracy. The proposed method obtained a classification accuracy of 0.9865 and a goodput of 0.0590 and provides a better classification of arrhythmia. The experimental results show that the proposed system is useful for the classification of arrhythmias, with a reasonably high accuracy of 0.9865 and a goodput of 0.0590. The validation of the proposed system offers acceptable results for clinical implementation.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are two common types of cardiomyopathies leading to heart failure. Accurate diagnostic classification of different types of cardiomyopathies is critical for precision medicine in clinical practice. In this study, we hypothesized that machine learning (ML) can be used as a novel diagnostic approach to analyze cardiac transcriptomic data for classifying clinical cardiomyopathies. RNA-Seq data of human left ventricle tissues were collected from 41 DCM patients, 47 ICM patients, and 49 nonfailure controls (NF) and tested using five ML algorithms: support vector machine with radial kernel (svmRadial), neural networks with principal component analysis (pcaNNet), decision tree (DT), elastic net (ENet), and random forest (RF). Initial ML classifications achieved ~93% accuracy (svmRadial) for NF vs. DCM, ~82% accuracy (RF) for NF vs. ICM, and ~80% accuracy (ENet and svmRadial) for DCM vs. ICM. Next, 50 highly contributing genes (HCGs) for classifying NF and DCM, 68 HCGs for classifying NF and ICM, and 59 HCGs for classifying DCM and ICM were selected for retraining ML models. Impressively, the retrained models achieved ~90% accuracy (RF) for NF vs. DCM, ~90% accuracy (pcaNNet) for NF vs. ICM, and ~85% accuracy (pcaNNet and RF) for DCM vs. ICM. Pathway analyses further confirmed the involvement of those selected HCGs in cardiac dysfunctions such as cardiomyopathies, cardiac hypertrophies, and fibrosis. Overall, our study demonstrates the promising potential of using artificial intelligence via ML modeling as a novel approach to achieve a greater level of precision in diagnosing different types of cardiomyopathies.

This article experiments with deep learning methodologies in echocardiogram (echo), a promising and vigorously researched technique in the preponderance field. This paper involves two different kinds of classification in the echo. Firstly, classification into normal (absence of abnormalities) or abnormal (presence of abnormalities) has been done, using 2D echo images, 3D Doppler images, and videographic images. Secondly, based on different types of regurgitation, namely, Mitral Regurgitation (MR), Aortic Regurgitation (AR), Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), and a combination of the three types of regurgitation are classified using videographic echo images. Two deep-learning methodologies are used for these purposes, a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based methodology (Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)) and an Autoencoder based methodology (Variational AutoEncoder (VAE)). The use of videographic images distinguished this work from the existing work using SVM (Support Vector Machine) and also application of deep-learning methodologies is the first of many in this particular field. It was found that deep-learning methodologies perform better than SVM methodology in normal or abnormal classification. Overall, VAE performs better in 2D and 3D Doppler images (static images) while LSTM performs better in the case of videographic images.

Early detection of breast abnormalities remains the primary prevention against breast cancer despite the advances in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Presence of mass in breast tissues is highly indicative of breast cancer. The research work presented in this paper investigates the significance of different types of features using proposed neural network based classification technique to classify mass type of breast abnormalities in digital mammograms into malignant and benign. 14 gray level based features, four BI-RADS features, patient age feature and subtlety value feature have been explored using the proposed research methodology to attain maximum classification on test dataset. The proposed research technique attained a 91% testing classification rate with a 100% training classification rate on digital mammograms taken from the DDSM benchmark database.

Precession is a common micromotion form of space targets, introducing additional micro-Doppler (m-D) modulation into the radar echo. Effective classification of space targets is of great significance for further micromotion parameter extraction and identification. Feature extraction is a key step during the classification process, largely influencing the final classification performance. This paper presents two methods for classifying different types of space precession targets from the HRRPs. We first establish the precession model of space targets and analyze the scattering characteristics and then compute electromagnetic data of the cone target, cone-cylinder target, and cone-cylinder-flare target. Experimental results demonstrate that the support vector machine (SVM) using histograms of oriented gradient (HOG) features achieves a good result, whereas the deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) obtains a higher classification accuracy. DCNN combines the feature extractor and the classifier itself to automatically mine the high-level signatures of HRRPs through a training process. Besides, the efficiency of the two classification processes are compared using the same dataset.

The paper deals with ECG prediction based on neural networks classification of different types of time courses of ECG signals. The main objective is to recognise normal cycles and arrhythmias and perform further diagnosis. We proposed two detection systems that have been created with usage of neural networks. The experimental part makes it possible to load ECG signals, preprocess them, and classify them into given classes. Outputs from the classifiers carry a predictive character. All experimental results from both of the proposed classifiers are mutually compared in the conclusion. We also experimented with the new method of time series transparent prediction based on fuzzy transform with linguistic IF-THEN rules. Preliminary results show interesting results based on the unique capability of this approach bringing natural language interpretation of particular prediction, that is, the properties of time series.
