Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the main tools to interpret and identify cardiovascular disease. ECG signals are frequently submitted to various noises, which alter the original signal and reduce its quality. ECG signal filtering enables cardiologists to assess heart health accurately. The present paper presents a newfound approach for ECG signal denoising built on two techniques which are EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) and AWC (Average Wavelet Coefficient method). The basic idea behind the suggested technique initially consists of deconstructing noisy ECG signal data on a restricted number of IMFs (Intrinsic Mode Functions) and then using the AWC technique to compute each IMF’s Hurst exponent. Finally, after a thresholding operation, the clean ECG signal is recovered by adding all IMFs, excluding those considered parts of noise. The suggested approach is assessed over experiments using the MIT-BIH databases. The experimental results reveal that the suggested method efficiently extracts ECG signals from noisy data samples.
