Efficient reference-free adaptive artifact cancellers for impedance cardiography based remote health care monitoring systems

چکیده
In this paper, a new model for adaptive artifact cancelation in impedance cardiography (ICG) signals is presented. It is a hybrid model based on wavelet decomposition and an adaptive filter. A novel feature of this model is the implementation of reference-free adaptive artifact cancellers (AAC). For this implementation, the reference signal is constructed using a wavelet transformation. During critical conditions the filter weights may be negative and cause an imbalance in the convergence. To overcome this problem, we introduce non-negative adaptive algorithms in the proposed artifact canceller. To accelerate the performance of the AAC, we propose exponential non-negative and normalized non-negative algorithms to update the filter coefficients. The computational complexity of the filtering section in a remote health care system is important to avoid inter-symbol interference of the incoming samples. This can be achieved by combining sign-based algorithms with the adaptive filtering section. Finally, several AACs are developed using variants of the non-negative algorithms and performance measures are computed and compared. All of the proposed AACs are tested on actual ICG signals. Among the AACs evaluated, sign regressor normalized non-negative LMS (SRN(3)LMS) based adaptive artifact canceller achieves highest signal to noise ratio (SNR). The SNR achieved by this algorithm in baseline wander artifact elimination is 8.5312 dBs, in electrode muscle artifact elimination is 7.5908 dBs and in impedance measurement artifact elimination is 8.4231 dBs.

متن کاملAdaptive Filtering and Characteristics Extraction for Impedance Cardiography
Impedance Cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive technique for monitoring stroke volume, cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters, which is based on sensing the change of thoracic electrical impedance caused by blood volume change in aorta during the cardiac cycle. Motion artifact and respiratory artifact can lead to baseline drift in ICG signal, particularly during or after exercise, which...

Introduction Impedance cardiography is a noninvasive technique for monitoring the changes in the electrical impedance of the thorax z(t), caused by variation in the blood volume during the cardiac cycle [1]. Time derivative of the thoracic impedance is known as the impedance cardiogram (ICG) and it is used for estimating the ventricular ejection time (Tlvet), the negative peak of ICG ((-dz/dt)m...

Adaptive systems are employed in the cancelation of noises and estimation of periodic and quasi periodic signals. Amongst these signals are the electrocardiogram (ECG),impedance cardiography, brain evoked potentials and modulated signals in telecommunication applications. In this paper we study the behaviour of the weights of the LMS algorithm when used to estimate the coefficients of the discr...

Cardiac Signals (CS) are affected with various artifacts during the acquisition and transmission. So these artifacts must be removed before presenting it to a doctor. In the proposed paper Normalized Median Least Mean Square (NMLMS) algorithm is being introduced for elimination of Power Line Interference (PLI), Baseline Wander (BW), Muscle artifacts (MA) and Electrode Motion (EM) from CS. The N...
