Why the study?
R-peak detection in wearable ECG signals is challenged by dynamic strong noise interference and limited hardware computational resources that restrict complex algorithms.
The proposed adaptive R-peak detection algorithm based on Brown's exponential smoothing model demonstrates high accuracy and robustness against strong noise in wearable ECG signals.
ECG is one of the most effective medical tests for heart disease diagnosis, and R-peak detection is the first step in ECG interpretation. For wearable ECG signals, the difficulty of R-peak detection mainly lies in the interference of dynamic strong noise, and the limited hardware computational resources limit the use of some complex algorithms. Therefore, an adaptive threshold R-peak detection algorithm based on Brown’s exponential smoothing model is proposed in this paper. The algorithm selects features based on the morphological characteristics and occurrence law of R-peaks, updates the threshold parameters using the Brown exponential smoothing model, optimizes the smoothing coefficients in it using the relative error least squares method, corrects the smoothing ability of the observation error and the response speed to the change of the observation, so that the updated threshold can be more consistent with the R-peak detection. Finally the algorithm achieves 99.6% precision, 99.7% recall and 99.65% F1 score on the self-constructed ECG dataset, and compares with other R-peak detection algorithms to determine the superiority of the proposed algorithm in some performance metrics. It is demonstrated experimentally that the algorithm can adapt well to the strong noise environment and obtain satisfactory R-peak detection accuracy.
