Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Noise and disturbances hinder effective interpretation of recorded ECG. To identify the clean parts of a recording, free from such disturbances, various quality indicators have been developed. Previous instances of these indicators focus on human-defined desirable properties of a clean signal. The reliance on human-specified properties places an inherent limitation on the potential power of signal quality indicators. To move away from this limitation, we propose a data-driven quality indicator.
