Assessing the signal quality of electrocardiograms from varied acquisition sources: A generic machine learning pipeline for model generation

Background and objective: Long-term electrocardiogram monitoring comes at the expense of signal quality. During unconstrained movements, the electrocardiogram is often corrupted by motion artefacts, which can lead to inaccurate physiological information. In this situation, automated quality assessment methods are useful to increase the...

An automated ECG signal quality assessment method with supervised learning algorithm

Wearable health has become a striking area in our daily life.<br/>Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the biomedical signals collected by the wearable or portable devices, which is widely used in heart rate monitoring and cardiac diagnosis. However, automatic ECG signal analysis is difficult in real application because the signals are easy to be...

Active Vision for Humanoid Robots

Human perception is an active process. By altering its viewpoint rather than passively observing surroundings and by operating on sequences of images rather than on a single frame, the human visual system has the ability to explore the most relevant information based on knowledge, therefore when growing up a human is able to develop cognitive...
