Popis
Shrnutí:	Electrocardiograms (ECG) are vital for diagnosing various cardiac conditions but are often corrupted by noise from multiple sources, which can hinder accurate interpretation. Denoising ECG signals is particularly challenging because noise usually overlaps with the frequency range of the signal of interest. We proposed a convolutional autoencoder with sequential and channel attention (CAE-SCA) to address this issue. Sequential attention (SA) is based on long short-term memory (LSTM), which captures causal-temporal relationships. Meanwhile, channel attention (CA) is used to emphasize important features within channels. SA is applied to the skip connection of each encoder block, and CA is applied after each decoder block. We validated the CAE-SCA using the MIT-BIH and SHDB-AF databases as clean ECG signals, with the MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database as the noise source. Experimental results give an average SNR value of 16.187 dB, RMSE of 0.059, and PRD value of 18.529 in the MIT-BIH database. While in the SHDB-AF dataset, the model obtained 15.308 dB of SNR, 0.049 of RMSE, and 19.220 of PRD. These results demonstrate our CAE-SCA outperforms all the state-of-the-art methods across all tested metrics. For efficiency, CAE-SCA achieved competitive results in the metrics of floating-point operations (FLOPs), inference time, and total parameters. This allowed CAE-SCA to be implemented in edge devices as we tested using our custom ECG acquisition circuit. A significance test further confirms a statistically significant improvement in SNR values achieved by the CAE-SCA compared to baseline models, suggesting the CAE-SCA's potential for advancing ECG processing in healthcare applications.
