Denoising of ECG signals Based on Noise Reduction Algorithms in EMD and Wavelet Domains

Project Code :TMMAIP162

Objective

The objective of this research is to investigate and develop efficient denoising methods for Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals by exploring and implementing noise reduction algorithms in both the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Wavelet domains.

Abstract

This paper presents a new ECG denoising approach based on noise reduction algorithms in empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domains. Unlike the conventional EMD based ECG denoising approaches that neglect a number of initial intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) containing the QRS complex as well as noise, we propose to perform windowing in the EMD domain in order to reduce the noise from the initial IMFs instead of discarding them completely thus preserving the QRS complex and yielding a relatively cleaner ECG signal. The signal thus obtained is transformed in the DWT domain, where an adaptive soft thresholding based noise reduction algorithm is employed considering the advantageous properties of the DWT compared to that of the EMD in preserving the energy in the presence of noise and in reconstructing the original ECG signal with a better time resolution. Extensive simulations are carried out using the MIT-BIH arrythmia database and the performance of the proposed method is evaluated in terms of several standard metrics. The simulation results show that the proposed method is able to reduce noise from the noisy ECG signals more accurately and consistently in comparison to some of the stateof-the-art methods.
