Contribution to the FPGA implementation of an embedded system for ECG signals

Abstract

This thesis contains a comprehensive study of the electrocardiogram signal,as it includes several interrelated chapters containing a series of information on the human heart. The study focused on noise removal using a sequential filter method of three FIR filters. In the first article,the method involves the study of electrocardiogram signal purification by selecting windows combined with successive filter portions.The second article contains the method of studying ECG signal filtering by analyzing the variance resulting from the exchange of positions of the filters of the cascading filter by ANOVA.Both methods yielded impressive results compared to previous recent work.Thus,we concluded that these two methods gave equivalent results,regardless of the method used.We have also provided an extension of the contribution to FPGA embedding by harnessing the Matlab Simulink SG,connected to the XILINX ZedBoard,the magnificence of this contribution having received remarkable results of great interest in the field of embedded systems.
