abstract

classification of heart arrhythmia is an important step in developing devices for monitoring the health of individuals. this paper proposes a three module system for classification of electrocardiogram (ecg) beats. these modules are: denoising module, feature extraction module and a classification module. in the first module the stationary wavelet transform (swf) is used for noise reduction of the ecg signals. the feature extraction module extracts a balanced combination of the hermit features and three timing interval feature. then a number of multi-layer perceptron (mlp) neural networks with different number of layers and eight training algorithms are designed. seven files from the mit/bih arrhythmia database are selected as test data and the performances of the networks, for speed of convergence and accuracy classifications, are evaluated.  generally all of the proposed algorisms have good training time, however, the resilient back propagation (rp) algorithm illustrated the best overall training time among the different training algorithms. the conjugate gradient back propagation (cgp) algorithm shows the best recognition accuracy about 98.02% using a little amount of features.

Classification of Body Movements in Wearable ECG (W-ECG) Signals Using Artificial Neural Networks

The wearable electrocardiogram (W-ECG) signal inherently contains motion artifacts due to various body movements of the wearer. The W-ECG signals with four body movement activit ies (BMAs) ‒ left arm up-down, right arm up-down, waist-twist and walking of five healthy subjects have been acquired using the wearable ECG recorder. The classification of these four BMAs has been performed using artif...

Supervised Classification of Ecg Using Neural Networks

In this study, two kinds of neural networks are employed to develop a supervised ECG beat classifier. In order to improve the performance of the MLP classifier for application to ECG signal, the performance is compared to an LVQ neural network classifier. The two classifiers are tested with selected ECG time series and experimental results show that the MLP classifier offers a great potential i...

Classification of Underwater Signals Using Neural Networks

In this paper, four kinds of neural network classifiers have been used for the classification of underwater passive sonar signals radiated by ships. Classification process can be divided into two stages. In the preprocessing and feature extraction stage, Two-Pass Split-Windows (TPSW) algorithm is used to extract tonal features from the average power spectral density (APSD) of the input data. In...

Clustering ECG complexes using Hermite functions and self-organizing maps

An integrated method for clustering of QRS complexes is presented which includes basis function representation and self-organizing neural networks (NN's). Each QRS complex is decomposed into Hermite basis functions and the resulting coefficients and width parameter are used to represent the complex. By means of this representation, unsupervised self-organizing NN's are employed to cluster the d...
