Abstract :
Identification of optimal denoising algorithm for ECG signals using DWT is described. The parameters are determined by comparing different types of wavelet functions, decomposition levels and threshold selection methods. The algorithm is used to improve the SNR of the ECG contaminated by disturbances like power line interferences, to present a clean signal for accurate auto diagnosis.
