Abstract - An electrocardiogram (ECG) is the graphical
representation of electrical impulses due to ideal activity in the cardiac muscles of human heart. ECG provides useful information that helps in analyzing the patient’s heart condition. But different noises may cause wrong interpretation of the ECG signals. So proper diagnosis of the heart , ECG signals must be free of noises. These noise which can be reduced by using the method signal processing. The major objective of this work is to denoising the ECG signal and hiding the details of the patient into the ECG. For this purpose use the technique Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) followed by moving average filter.EMD is based on a decomposition derived from the data and is useful for the analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary time series signals. For denoising, the ECG signal is initially decomposed into a set of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), then high frequency noises are eliminated using lower order IMFs followed by the reconstruction of the ECG signal and it is found to be free of noises with a high degree of Signal to Error Ratio(SER). Key Words: ECG, EMD, IMF, STEGANOGRAPHY, ENCRYPTION
1.INTRODUCTION Heart disease is one of the main causes of deaths worldwide. Doctors use electrocardiogram (ECG) to sense abnormal heart rhythms and to examine the cause of chest pains. This test detects and records the heart's electrical activity. ECG signals are recorded from patients for diagnostic purposes. An ECG is nothing but a record of the potency and timing information of electrical signals as they pass through the heart. A common problem in ECG analysis is the removal of unwanted artifacts and noise. There are various artifacts which get added in these signals and change the original signal therefore the need to remove these artifacts from the original signal is significant. Typically an ECG signal consists of P wave, QRS complex; T wave and any deviation in these parameters predict and justify the abnormalities present in heart. This signal could be measured by electrodes from human body in typical engagement. Signals from these electrodes are brought to simple electrical circuits with amplifiers and analogue – digital converters.
The major crisis of digitalized signal is intrusion with other noisy signals like power supply network 50 Hz frequency and breathing muscle artefacts. These noisy elements have to be removed before the signal is used for next data processing like heart rate frequency detection. Digital filters and signal dispensation should be designed very effective for real-time applications in embedded devices. Heart rate frequency is very important health status information. The frequency measurement is used in many medical applications like stress tests or life treating condition prediction. One of possible ways how to get heart rate frequency is compute it from the ECG signal. Hiding patient's mystery facts and other physiological information in ECG signal is the main intention. provide secrecy, integrity, and accessibility to personal records. the primary branch of cryptography is steganography that includes hiding statistics in different secondary facts. Hiding the facts lower the risk of the statistics being detected. clinical pics has smaller size were the ECG signal has extra size. consequently in preference to medical photograph ECG sign is utilized in steganography manner. The ECG sign of the sufferers is used to hide physiological facts of affected person like temperature, glucose stage, blood stress, role, etc., that are accumulated through the usage of body Sensor Networks (BSNs) at domestic and stored on clinic server by transmitted through network. On the same value that the affected person privateness is included towards intruders whilst records navigate in open network and stored in medical institution servers. This technique allows hiding the personal records of the patient in to ECG signal and consequently offers ensures the patient’s privateness and discretion records hiding.
2. DENOISING OF ECG SIGNAL The existing work is devoted closer to the EMD primarily based denoising of ECG signals and in addition improvements are made to the prevailing set of rules [1]that indicates true stepped forward effects for the denoising of the ECG indicators. diagram of the proposed set of rules is proven in Fig. 1 . A. Decomposition of noisy ECG sign in to IMFs The EMD is applied to the Noisy ECG sign to get a series of IMFs representing distinct oscillations.
