Design of neural network based ALE for QRS enhancement

QRS 파의 증대를 위한 신경망 ALE 설계

This paper describes the application of a neural network based adaptive line enhancer (ALE) for enhancement of the weak QRS complex corrupted with background noise. Modified fully-connected recurrent neural network is used as a nonlinear adaptive filter in the ALE. The connecting weights between network nodes as well as the parameters of the node activation function are updated at each iteration using the gradient descent algorithm. The real ECG signal buried with moderate and severe background noise is applied to the ALE. Simulation results show that the neural network based ALE performs well the enhancement of the QRS complex from noisy ECG signals.
