Description
This subject covers the concepts of signal processing and modelling related to biomedical signals and images along with methods of acquisition and classification. Biomedical signals, such as, Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), surface Electromyogram (sEMG), human cardiorespiratory signals and body movement signals, are discussed in relation to discrete signal processing algorithms for the analysis and monitoring. For the signal analysis of human body movement (measured by portable inertial sensors), several well-known techniques such as the band-pass FIR filtering and Joint Time-Frequency Analysis (JTFA) (including Short-Term Fourier Transforms and Wavelet) are presented along with techniques for data classification. For the signal analysis of human cardiorespiratory system, K-mean clustering algorithms, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and most commonly used dynamic modelling approaches are also covered. Both stationary and non-stationary signal processing techniques for the analysis, detection and estimation of various cardiorespiratory signals are further discussed. Multidimensional filtering design for 2D image processing will also be explored.
Most of the discussed data processing techniques are demonstrated by using MATLAB simulation, tested in Labview environment, and implemented by using microcontroller and/or other specialised devices.
