Abstract

Twelve-lead Electrocardiograph (ECG) signals fusion is crucial for further ECG signal processing. In this paper, based on the idea of the local weighted linear prediction algorithm, a novel fusion data algorithm is proposed, which was applied in data fusion of the 12-lead ECG signals. In order to analyze the signal quality comprehensively, the quality characteristics should be adequately retained in the final fused result. In our algorithm, the values for the weighted coefficient of state points were closely related to the final fused result. Thus, two fuzzy inference systems were designed to calculate the weighted coefficients. For the sake of assessing the performance of our method, synthetic ECG signals and realistic ECG signals were applied in the experiments. Experimental results indicate that our method can fuse the 12-lead ECG signals effectively with inherit the quality characteristics of original ECG signals inherited properly.
