In this paper, we look into previous research in relation to each processing step for ECG diagnosis and propose detection and classification method of arrhythmia using rhythm features of ECG signal. Rhythm features for distribution of rhythm and heartbeat such as identity, regularity, etc. are extracted in feature extraction, and rhythm type is classified using rule-base constructed in advance for features of rhythm section in rhythm classification. Experimental results for all of rhythm types in the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show detection performance of 100% for arrhythmia with only normal rhythm rule and applicability of classification for rhythm types with arrhythmia rhythm rules.

Classification result by comprehensive analysis of rhythm section and heartbeat unit makes a reliable diagnosis of heart disease possible. In this paper, based on feature-points of ECG signals, rhythm analysis for constant section and heartbeat unit is conducted using rule-based classification and SVM-based classification respectively. Rhythm types are classified using a rule base deduced from clinical materials for features of rhythm section in rule-based classification, and monotonic rhythm or major abnormality heartbeats are classified using multiple SVMs trained previously for features of heartbeat unit in SVM-based classification. Experimental results for the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show classification ratios of 68.52% by rule-based method alone and 87.04% by fusion method of rule-based and SVM-based for 11 rhythm types. The proposed fusion method is improved by about 19% through misclassification improvement for monotonic and arrangement rhythms by SVM-based method.

Low misclassification performance is significant with high classification accuracy for a reliable diagnosis of ECG signals, and diagnosing abnormal state as normal state can especially raises a deadly problem to a person in ECG test. In this paper, we propose detection and classification method of abnormal rhythm by rule-based rhythm classification reflecting clinical criteria for disease. Rule-based classification classifies rhythm types using rule-base for feature of rhythm section, and rule-base deduces decision results corresponding to professional materials of clinical and internal fields. Experimental results for the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show that the applicability of proposed method is confirmed to classify rhythm types for normal sinus, paced, and various abnormal rhythms, especially without misclassification in detection aspect of abnormal rhythm.

본 논문은 가중 퍼지소속함수 기반 신경망(Neural Network with Weighted fuzzy Membership Funcstions, NEWFM)을 이용하여 심전도 신호로부터 조기심실수축(Premature Ventricular Contraction, PVC)을 판별하는 퍼지규칙을 추출하고 있다. NEWFM은 자기적응적(self adaptive) 가중 퍼지소속함수를 가지고 주어진 입력 데이터로부터 학습하여 퍼지규칙을 생성하고 이를 기반으로 정상 파형과 PVC 파형을 구분한다. 분류 성능 평가를 위하여 MIT/BIH 부정맥 데이터 베이스를 사용하였으며, NEWFM의 입력은 심전도의 파형에 웨이블릿 변환을 적용하여 추출된 웨이블릿 계수를 사용하였다. 여기에 비중복면적 분산 측정법을 적용하여 중요도가 낮은 계수를 제거하면서 최소의 m 개 특징입력만을 사용한 하이퍼박스로 단순화 시킨다. 이러한 방법으로 추출된 2개의 웨이블릿 계수를 사용한 퍼지규칙은 $96\%$의 PVC 분류성능을 보여준다.

This paper presents a RLS based adaptive sliding mode observer (A-SMO) for unknown fault reconstruction in longitudinal autonomous driving. Securing the functional safety of autonomous vehicles from unexpected faults of sensors is essential for avoidance of fatal accidents. Because the magnitude and type of the faults cannot be known exactly, the RLS based A-SMO for unknown acceleration fault reconstruction has been designed with relationship function in this study. It is assumed that longitudinal acceleration of preceding vehicle can be obtained by using the V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) communication. The kinematic model that represents relative relation between subject and preceding vehicles has been used for fault reconstruction. In order to reconstruct fault signal in acceleration, the magnitude of the injection term has been adjusted by adaptation rule designed based on MIT rule. The proposed A-SMO in this study was developed in Matlab/Simulink environment. Performance evaluation has been conducted using the commercial software (CarMaker) with car-following scenario and evaluation results show that maximum reconstruction error ratios exist within range of ±10%.

This paper presents an approach to detect premature ventricular contractions(PVC) using the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM). NEWFM classifies normal and PVC beats by the trained weighted fuzzy membership functions using wavelet transformed coefficients extracted from the MIT-BIH PVC database. The two most important coefficients are selected by the non-overlap area distribution measurement method to minimize the classification rules that show PVC classification rate of 99.90%. By Presenting locations of the extracted two coefficients based on the R wave location, it is shown that PVC can be detected using only information of the two portions.

In this paper, we designed a fuzzy system using the wavelet coefficients to detection the PVCs effectively and to increase the accuracy of decision of the arrhythmia. In the proposed Fuzzy system, the QRS complex of ECG signal is divided into 6th level frequence bands by wavelet transform using Haar wavelet. The MIT/BIH database for the source of input signal is used in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. From the simulation results, the decision of membership functions for PVCs and heart rates by using Fuzzy rules, we detected the abnormal values effectively by application of leaned from neural network and we also found results in classification ratio of 95% the decision of arrhythmia.

QRS detection of ECG is the most popular and easy way to detect cardiac-disease. But it is difficult to analyze the ECG signal because of various noise types. Also in the healthcare system that must continuously monitor people's situation, it is necessary to process ECG signal in realtime. In other words, the design of algorithm that exactly detects QRS wave using minimal computation and classifies PVC by analyzing the persons's physical condition and/or environment is needed. Thus, efficient QRS detection and PVC classification based on profiling method is presented in this paper. For this purpose, we detected QRS through the preprocessing method using morphological filter, adaptive threshold, and window. Also, we applied profiling method to classify each patient's normal cardiac behavior through hash function. The performance of R wave detection, normal beat and PVC classification is evaluated by using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average of 99.77% in R wave detection and the rate of 0.65% in normal beat classification error and 93.29% in PVC classification.

Premature ventricular contraction(PVC) is the most common disease among arrhythmia and it may cause serious situations such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Nevertheless personalized difference of ECG signal exist, performance degradation occurs because of carrying out diagnosis by general classification rule. In other words, the design of algorithm that exactly detects abnormal signal and classifies PVC by analyzing the persons's physical condition and/or environment and variable QRS pattern is needed. Thus, PVC classification by personalized abnormal signal detection and QRS pattern variability is presented in this paper. For this purpose, we detected R wave through the preprocessing method and subtractive operation method and selected abnormal signal sets. Also, we classified PVC in realtime through QS interval and R wave amplitude. The performance of abnormal beat detection and PVC classification is evaluated by using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average of 98.33% in abnormal beat classification error and 94.46% in PVC classification.

T wave is cardiac parameters that represent ventricular repolarization, it is very important to diagnose arrhythmia. Several methods for detecting T wave have been proposed, such as frequency analysis and non-linear approach. However, detection accuracy is at the lower level. This is because of the overlap of the P wave and T wave depending on the heart condition. We propose T wave detection algorithm based on target area extraction through QRS cancellation and moving average. For this purpose, we detected Q, R, S wave from noise-free ECG(electrocardiogram) signal through the preprocessing method. And then we extracted P, T target area by applying decision rule for four PAC(premature atrial contraction) pattern another arrhythmia through moving average and detected T wave using RT interval and threshold of RR interval. The performance of T wave detection is evaluated by using 48 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average detection rate of 95.32%.
