Design of a wavelet adaptive filter for removal of the baseline wandering
기저선 변동 제거를 위한Wwavelet Adaptive Filter의 설계
Abstract
This paper describes a design of a Wavelet Adaptive Filter(WAF) for the removal of the baseline wandering and the minimization of the signal distortion using by wavelet transform and adaptive filter in the ECG signal. WAF consists of two parts. The first part is wavelet transform that decomposes the ECG signal into seven frequency bands using Vaidyanathan and Hoang wavelet. The second part is adaptive filter that uses the signal of seventh low frequency band among the wavelet transformed signals as primary input and a unit impulse sequence as reference input. For the evaluation of the performance of WAF, we used several baseline wandering elimination filters such as commerical standard filter with cutoff frequency of 0.5Hz and general adaptive filter. We made use of MIT/BIH database and real patient data for the evaluation. In conclusion, WAF showed a lower ST segement distortion than standard filter and adaptive filter and has a higher eliminated noise power than standard filter and adaptive filter.
