Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal plays an imperative role in monitoring and examining the health condition of the heart. ECG signal represents the electrical activity of the heat. The most consequential noises that degrade important features in ECG signal are powerline interference noise, external electromagnetic field interference noise, baseline wandering and electroencephalogram noise. The features of ECG signal obtained in time domain is not sufficient for analyzing the ECG signal. As the signal is non-stationary, the time-frequency representation can be used for feature extraction. The Short Time Fourier Transform can be used but its time frequency precision is not optimal. In this current project, we will be able to implement the ideology proposed to overcome the problem among various time frequency transformation. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used which gives effective results for non-stationary signals like ECG signal which may be often contaminated. The combination of Savitzky-Golay filtering and DWT can be used for ECG denoising and feature extraction which has the advantage of preserving the important feature by elimination the noise components. The method is applied for the database which is taken from MIT- BIH arrhythmia and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB platform.
