심전도 신호의 잡음 신호는 일정한 주파수대역에 존재하지 않고 측정자의 신체 및 환경조건에 따라서 잡음의 종류와 정도가 다르다. 따라서 기존의 고정 주파수 특성을 갖고 있는 필터로는 효율적인 잡음 제거가 불가능하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 상황인식을 통해 잡음의 형태를 파악하여 적응적으로 필터를 재구성하는 적응적 잡음제거기술을 제안한다.

최근 사물인터넷(IoT) 기기가 활성화됨에 따라 웨어러블 장치 환경에서 장기간 모니터링 및 수집이 가능해짐에 따라 생체 신호 처리 및 ECG 분석 연구가 활성화되고 있다. 그러나, ECG 데이터는 부정맥 비트의 불규칙적인 발생으로 인한 클래스 불균형 문제와 근육의 떨림 및 신호의 미약등과 같은 잡음으로 인해 낮은 신호 품질이 발생할 수 있으며 훈련용 공개데이터 세트가 작다는 특징을 갖는다. 이 논문에서는 ECG 1D 신호를 2D 스펙트로그램 이미지로 변환하여 잡음의 영향을 최소화하고 전이학습과 메타학습의 장점을 결합하여 클래스 불균형 문제와 소수의 데이터에서도 빠른 학습이 가능하다는 특징을 갖는다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 ECG 스펙트럼 이미지를 사용하여 2D-CNN 메타-전이 학습 기반 부정맥 분류 기법을 제안한다.

One of the main techniques for diagnosing heart disease is by examining the electrocardiogram(ECG). The earlier noise reduction techniques can not effectively cancellation complex noise from the noisy ECG such powrline interference, baseline drift, muscle artifact. In this paper, we performed the extrude noise from and recovering the ECG signal using wavelets transform that has recently been applying to various fields.

An adaptive filter for noise cancellation of ECG Is proposed. An adaptive noise canceller using the least mean squares algorithm Is used to reduce unwanted noise. An adaptive filter for nolse cancella lion minimizes the mean-square error between a primary input and a reference input. A primary input is the noisy ECG, and a reference input is a noise that Is correlated in some way with the noise in the primary input or a signal that is correlated only with ECG in the primary input.

Powerline interference in bioelectric recordings is a common source of noise. IEF(Incremental Estimation Filter) has been used to eliminate powerline interferences in biosignals, especially in ECG(Electrocadiogram) signals. The constant incremental factor in the IEF filter, which affects the performance of noise rejection, is usually determined empirically or experimentally based on the input signals. This paper presents the design of neural network based IEF filter for time-varying control of the incremental factor. The proposed IEF filter is evaluated by applying to artificial signals as well as ECG signals of MIT-BIH database. For the relative comparison of noise-rejection performance, it is compared with adaptive noise canceler and conventional IEF filter. Simulation results show that the neural network based IEF filter outperforms these adaptive filters with respect to convergence speed and noise rejection is specific frequencies.

In this study, ECG signal amplifier, wireless transmitter/receiver circuit, signal processing filter circuit and A/D converter circuit design required for the development of small sized ECG module for wireless transmission/ reception were performed. In order to verify the performance of ECG sensors, the measurement was performed from 1 m to 3 m to measure the signal noise ratio according to the gateway distance. Experimental results showed that the signal noise ratio at 2 m distance was 17.18 dB on average, which fulfilled the requirements for commercialization. The experimental results obtained in this study are expected to contribute to the low cost, high efficiency mobile health field where remote monitoring diagnosis can be applied to small biometric devices for chronic disease management.

본 논문에서는 배경잡음이 섞여 있는 QRS 파의 증대를 위해 신경망에 근거한 적응라인증대기(ALE) 적용을 다루고 있다. Elman과 Jordan RNN 구조의 합성형태를 갖는 수정된 완전연결 리커런트 신경망이 ALE의 비션형 적응필터로 사용되고 있다. 신경망 노드사이의 연결계수와 이득, 기울기, 지연과 같은 노드 활성함수의 변수들이 기울기 강하 알고리즘을 사용하여 학습이 반복될 때마다 갱신된다. 수정된 신경망은 먼저 미지의 선형과 비선형 시스템 identification을 수행함으로써 평가하였다. 그리고 미약한 QRS를 증대시키기 위해서 적당한 크기의 잡음과 매우 심한 잡음이 포함된 실제의 ECG 신호를 비선형 신경망 적응필처를 사용하는 ALE에 입력하였다. 수정된 신경망은 시스템 identification에 사용하기가 적합함을 확인하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면 신경망 ALE는 잡음 ECG 신호로부터 QRS 파를 증대를 잘 수행하였다.

Mobile ECG signal measurement is a technique to measure small signals of several mV, and many studies have been conducted to remove noise including wandering scheme. Removal of the equipotential line noise caused by shaking or movement of the electrode cable is one of the core research contents for the electrocardiogram measurement. In this study, we proposed a modified step-size of combined NLMS(normalized least squares) and DLMS(delayed least squares) adaptive filter to eliminate baseline noise from ECG signals. The proposed method mainly adjusts initial filter step-size to reduce distortion of original ECG signals characteristic after eliminating baseline noise. The modified filter step-size is scaled by filter order size and distortion minimization factor. This method is suitable for portable ECG device with a small processor and less power consumption. This technique also decreases computation time which is essential for real-time filtering. The proposed filter also increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) compared to conventional NLMS filter.

The noise component of electrocardiogram is not distributed in a certain frequency band. It is expressed in various types of signals by rater's physical and environmental conditions. Particularly, since the baseline wander is occurred by the mixture of the original signal and 0 ~ 2 [Hz] range of the frequency components according to muscle constraction of part attaching to an electrode and respiration rythm, it makes the ECG signal analysis difficult. Several methods have been proposed to eliminate the wandering effectually. However, they have some problems. In some methods, the high processing time is required due to the computational complexity, while in other cases ECG signal morphology can be distorted. This paper suggests a simple and effective algorithm that eliminates baseline wander with low computational complexity and without distorting signal morphology. First, the algorithm detects and segments a baseline wandering interval using slope analysis and curve point detection, second, approximates the wandering in the interval as a sinusoid, and then subtracts the sinusoid from signal. Finally, ecg signals without baseline wander are obtained. In order to evaluate the performance of the algorithm, several ECG signals with baseline wandering in MIT/BIH ECG database 101, 111, 113, 234 record were chosen and applied to the algorithm. It is found that the algorithm removes baseline wanders effectively without significant morphological distortion.
