CardioLabelNet: An uncertainty estimation using fuzzy for abnormalities detection in ECG

Abstract

AbstractElectrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities are evaluated through several automatic detection methods. Primarily, real‐world ECG data are digital signals those are stored in the form of images in hospitals. Also, the existing automated detection technique eliminates the cardiac pattern that is abnormal and it is difficult to multiple abnormalities at some instances. To address those issues in this paper conventional ECG image automated techniques CardioLabelNet model is proposed. The proposed model incorporates two stages for image abnormality detection. At first fuzzy membership is performed in the image for computation of uncertainty. In second stage, classification is performed for computation of abnormal activity. The proposed CardioLabelNet collect ECG image data set for the uncertainty estimation while taking the account of various image classes which includes the global and local entropy of image pixels. For each waveform, uncertainties are calculated on the basis of global entropy. The computation of uncertainty in the images is performed with the fuzzy membership function. The spatial likelihood estimation of a fuzzy weighted membership function is used to calculate local entropy. Upon completion of fuzzification, classification is performed for the detection of normal and abnormal patterns in the ECG signal images. Through integration of stacked architecture model classification is performed for ECG images. The proffered algorithm performance is calculated in terms of accuracy for segmentation, Dice similarity coefficient, and partition entropy. Additionally, classification parameters accuracy sensitivity, specificity, and AUC are evaluated. The proposed approach outperforms the existing methodology, according to the results of a comparative analysis.
