Denoising of ECG signals using Non Local Means Filtering Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important biomedical signal for analyzing heart activity. Analysis of ECG becomes difficult if noise is augmented with the signal during acquisition. During recent years, several denoising techniques were analyzed within the field of signal processing. In this paper, non local means (NLM) filtering technique is explored for denoising the ECG signal. The noisy ECG signal is synthesized by adding pulse signals and is then denoised at different levels by optimizing various NLM parameters. The experimental results showed that the proposed technique successfully denoised the noisy ECG signals by selecting appropriate input NLM parameters. Finally, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE) were also evaluated.

The recently introduced non-local means (NLM) image denoising technique broke the traditional paradigm according to which image pixels are processed by their surroundings. Non-local means technique was demonstrated to outperform state-of-the art denoising techniques when applied to images in the visible. This technique is even more powerful when applied to low contrast images, which makes it tr...

متن کاملOnline filtering using piecewise smoothness priors: Application to normal and abnormal electrocardiogram denoising
In this work, a block-wise extension of Tikhonov regularization is proposed for denoising smooth signals contaminated by wide-band noise. The proposed method is derived from a constrained least squares problem in two forms: 1) a block-wise fixed-lag smoother with smooth inter-block transitions applied in matrix form, and 2) a fixed-interval smoother applied as a forward-backward zero-phase filt...
