چکیده

The accurate detection of QRS complexes is important for ECG signal analysis. This paper presents an improved version of a QRS detector based on an adaptive quantized threshold. The algorithm achieves high detection rates by using automatic thresholds instead of predetermined static thresholds. We improved the number of detected QRS in non-stationary random arrhythmic ECG signals by applying a secondary threshold. The performance of the algorithm was tested on 19 records of the MIT/BIH Arrhythmia Database resulting in 97.5% sensitivity and 99.9% positive predictivity.

Compressed Domain Scene Change Detection Based on Transform Units Distribution in High Efficiency Video Coding Standard

Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...

Detection of QRS Complexes in 12-lead ECG using Adaptive Quantized Threshold

The QRS complex is the most prominent wave component within the electrocardiogram. It reflects the electrical activity of heart during the ventricular contraction and the time of its occurrence. Its morphology provides information about the current state of the heart. The identification of QRS-complexes forms the basis for almost all automated ECG analysis algorithms. The presented algorithm em...

Negative Selection Based Data Classification with Flexible Boundaries

One of the most important artificial immune algorithms is negative selection algorithm, which is an anomaly detection and pattern recognition technique; however, recent research has shown the successful application of this algorithm in data classification. Most of the negative selection methods consider deterministic boundaries to distinguish between self and non-self-spaces. In this paper, two...
