Expunging Baseline Wander from ECG Signals by Empirical Wavelet Transform Based Dyadic Boundary Points
摘要
Electrocardiogram (ECG), is a vital biological signal that is used to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. There is often noise present when ECG data is being acquired in a healthcare facility. Baseline wander (BWR) is a noise that can distort the ECG signal and cause erroneous interpretations. BWR describes low-frequency variations in ECG signal baseline that can conceal the underlying physiological data. As a result, great attention has been paid to ECG denoising for accurate diagnosis and analysis. In this research, we have used the filter bank-based technique to remove BWR from the ECG. We present a dyadic boundary point-based empirical wavelet transform (DPET) filter bank for multi-scale ECG decomposition into distinct sub-bands (SBND). MIT-BIH Arrhythmia dataset, which is openly accessible, is used to support the proposed methodology. When compared using performance metrics such as the signal-to-noise ratio of the output (STNRo) and the correlation coefficient (
