A Comparison of the Use of Different Wavelet Coefficients for the Classification of the Electrocardiogram
نویسندگان
چکیده
The classification of the electrocardiogram (ECG) into different pathophysiological disease categories is a complex pattern recognition task. This study compares the classification performance of feature sets formed from the discrete-wavelet-transform coefficients of different mother wavelets. Fifteen feature sets are calculated from three Daubechies wavelets, with the decomposition level varied between 3 and 7. Classification performance is optimised by using automatic feature selection and by combining classifications of multi-beat ECG information. Results show that the overall classification performance of the different feature sets was 71.6-74.2% and that the wavelet order and level had little influence on the overall performance. All quoted results are obtained from 10 runs of 10-fold cross-validation. Analysis of the automatically chosen features reveal that time-frequency bands in the vicinity of the QRS onset and the T-wave are consistently selected.

متن کاملAutomatic classification of normal and abnormal cardiac sounds by combining features based on wavelet transform and capstral coefficients extracted from PCG signals (Research Article)
Cardiac sounds are produced by the mechanical activities of the heart and provide useful information about the function of the heart valves. Due to the transient and unstable nature of the heart's sound and the limitation of the human hearing system, it is difficult to categorize heart sound signals based on what is heard from a stethoscope. Therefore, providing an automated algorithm for prima...
