Block Based Variable Step Size LMS Adaptive Algorithm for Reducing Artifacts in the Telecadiology System

In this paper, an efficient Block Based Error Data Nonlinear Variable Step Size Least Mean Square (BBEDNVSSLMS) adaptive algorithm is used to reducing the noises present in the cardiogram signal. Now a day’s Heart attack is main problem in the world. This problem is very important when patients are present far away from the medical diagnosis centre. So in these cases Telecardiology (ambulatory) system will help to patient for proper treatment within their area. When we are measuring the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from the patient it will undergo numerous noises. In this paper we proposed efficient BBEDNVSSLMS adaptive algorithms for reducing of Power Line Interference (PLI) noise and Electrode Motion (EM) artifact noise. Also, we derived sign based algorithms based on BBEDNVSSLMS algorithm, which will give less computational complexity. Finally these algorithms are applied to corrupted ECG signals. By analyzing the simulation values for different factors on, Signal to noise ratio, convergence characteristics and Mean square error values, these algorithm gives better elimination of noise in the ECG signal compared to LMS algorithm.
