A method of wavelet-based dual thresholding de-noising for ECG signal

ECG (Electrocardiography) signal is one of important means of clinical diagnosis for heart disease which has great significance in clinical medicine. De-noising is a critical task in the preprocess of ECG signal. This paper proposed a dual thresholding function and a level-dependent threshold estimator by the different thresholds estimated based on wavelet coefficients in different layers. Experiments were carried out and the results suggest that the proposed new threshold algorithm is suitable to remove the ECG signal noise and has potential in ECG signal processing field.
