WAVELET BASED ECG ARRHYTHMIA CLASSIFICATION USING GA-SVM METHOD

摘要

This project work presents approach for cardiac arrhythmia disease classification. The GA-SVM method combines both Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Genetic Algorithm approaches. First, twenty two features from electrocardiogram signal are extracted. ECG feature extraction plays a significant role in diagnosing most of the cardiac diseases. One cardiac cycle in an ECG signal consists of the P-QRS-T waves. This feature extraction scheme determines the amplitudes and intervals in the ECG signal for subsequent analysis. These features are obtained semi automatically from time-voltage ofR, S, T, P, Q features of an Electro Cardiogram signals. The amplitudes and intervals value of P-QRS-T segment determines the functioning of heart of every human. Recently, numerous research and techniques have been developed for analyzing the ECG signal We used genetic algorithm for ECG arrhythmia classification. It is used to improve the generalization performance of the SVM classifier. In order to do this, the design of the SVM classifier is optimized by searching for the best value of the parameters that tune its discriminate function, and looking for the best subset of features that optimizes the classification fitness function. This system is automatically select a proper subset of features for optimizing the SVM classifier. We used MAT lab program for this method. After the running program, we get genetic algorithm - support vector method graph for ECG arrhythmia classification.
