Abstract

The paper investigates the method of averaging of time-warped signal cycles when applied to ECG noise suppression for noise immune measurement of the QT interval. First, a classical method is presented and then two modifications aimed to raise its immunity to noise are applied. Then a few versions of the method, obtained by application of the modifications proposed, are compared. Experiments on signals from the so called QT database are performed. These experiments show that while the original method is rather sensitive to noise, the modifications introduced make it much more robust. Applied to ECG enhancement prior to the measurements of the QT interval the modified method significantly improves the measurements accuracy.
