Key result
Wavelet Packet Transform accurately delineates ECG waves with high precision for QRS detection.
Why the study?
Accurate detection of P, QRS, and T waves is essential for automatic ECG analysis and cardiac diagnosis, motivating development of improved delineation methods.
The proposed Wavelet Packet Transform-based method offers a highly accurate approach for automated ECG feature extraction, which is essential for cardiac diagnosis.
Accurate detection of P, QRS, and T waves is essential for automatic electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and cardiac diagnosis. This paper presents a strong ECG delineation method based on Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) combined with adaptive peak detection. The ECG signal from the CSE database sampled at 500 Hz is first preprocessed using a Kaiser window-based FIR bandpass filter (0.5–40 Hz). A level 4 WPT decomposition using the Daubechies-6 (db6) wavelet is applied to enhance the QRS complex. R-peaks are detected using energy-based adaptive thresholding with a refractory period. Subsequently, P and T waves are identified using physiological search windows defined around each detected R-peak. The proposed method provides authentic detection performance for all ECG components and achieves high accuracy in QRS detection. This method is suitable for automated ECG analysis and clinical applications.
