title: Development of a new signal processing algorithm based on independent component analysis for single channel ECG data.
abstract: In this paper, we proposed a new signal processing algorithm based on independent component analysis (ICA) for single channel ECG data. For the application ICA to single channel data, mixed (multi-channel) signals are constructed by adding some delay to original data. By ICA, signal enhancement is acquired. For validation of usefulness of this signal, QRS complex detection was accompanied. In QRS detection process, Hilbert transform and wavelet transform were used and good QRS detection efficacy was obtained. Furthermore, a signal, which could not be filtered properly using existing algorithm, also had better signal enhancement. In future, we need to study on the algorithm optimization and simplification.
