In this paper, we propose a new automated quality-aware electrocardiogram (ECG) heat classification method for effective diagnosis of ECG arrhythmias under unsupervised healthcare environments. The proposed method consists of three major stages: 1) the ECG signal quality assessment (acceptable or unacceptable) based on our previous modified complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition and temporal features; 2) the ECG signal reconstruction and R-peak detection; and 3) the ECG beat classification including the ECG beat extraction, beat alignment, and normalized cross-correlation-based beat classification. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are evaluated using different normal and abnormal ECG signals taken from the standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Evaluation results show that the proposed quality-aware ECG beat classification method can significantly achieve false alarm reduction ranging from 24% to 93% under noisy ECG recordings. The R-peak detector achieves the average Se = 99.67% and positive predictivity (Pp) = 93.10% and the average sensitivity (Se) = 99.65% and Pp = 98.88% without and with denoising approaches, respectively. Results further showed that the proposed ECG beat extraction approach can improve the classification accuracy by preserving the QRS complex portion and suppressing the background noises under acceptable level of noises. The quality-aware ECG beat classification methods achieve higher kappa values for the classification accuracies which can be consistent as compared with the heartbeat classification methods without the ECG quality assessment process.

Dynamic Mode Decomposition Based Approach for Accurate Measurement of Voltage Flicker Components

Buduru Naveen Kumar, Srinivas Bhaskar Karanki, M. Sabarimalai Manikandan

Summary: In this paper, a method using dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is proposed to accurately estimate the amplitudes and frequencies of flicker components. The method includes Hilbert transform for envelope extraction, DMD for spectral analysis, and the assessment of flicker severity index (ΔV10) based on the eye-brain model. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is verified by considering voltage flickers with single and multiple flicker components and investigating sensitive conditions. Simulation results are compared with existing techniques in terms of relative errors of flicker parameters. A hardware prototype is developed for practical flicker measurement and the proposed algorithm is implemented on the Raspberry Pi board, with experimental results compared to simulation findings to prove its applicability.
