Abstract

Classification accuracy is vital in practical application of automatic ECG diagnostics. This paper aims at enhancing accuracy of ECG signals classification. We propose a statistical method to segment heartbeats from ECG signal as precisely as possible, and use the combination of independent component analysis (ICA) features and temporal feature to describe multi-lead ECG signals. To obtain the most discriminant features of different class, we introduce the minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance feature selection method. Finally, we designed a vote strategy to make the decision from different classifiers. We test our method on the MIT-BIT Arrhythmia Database, achieving a high accuracy.
