Abstract

This paper presents a review of denoising techniques being implemented in ECG arrhythmia classification systems. In this work, we have investigated the frequently used denoising techniques: cascaded median filter and wavelet-based denoising methods. An experimental study was conducted using MIT-BIH arrhythmia dataset and MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database. The techniques are compared on the basis of SNR improvement and RMSE as performance measures. The experimental results demonstrate that the wavelet transform-based denoising method outperforms the cascaded median filter method.
