An ECG Segmentation Method Based on GMM and Clusterwise Regression
摘要
The electrocardiogram (ECG) segmentation needs to separate different waves from an ECG and cluster the waves simultaneously. Clusterwise regression is a useful approach that can segment and cluster the data simultaneously. In this paper, we apply the clusterwise regression method to segment the ECG. By modeling the ECG signal wave by the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and introducing a weight function, we propose a minimization model that consists of the weighted sum of the negative log-likelihood and the total variation (TV) of the weight function. The TV of the weight function enforces the temporal consistency. A supervised algorithm is designed to solve the proposed model. Experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed method for the ECG segmentation.
