Jitu Sharma, Vikash Kumar, Shahanaz Ayub, J. P. Saini . Uniform Sampling of ECG Waveform of MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database at Desired Intervals. International Journal of Computer Applications. 50, 15 ( July 2012), 6-9. DOI=10.5120/7845-0912
MIT-BIH Database is the standard ECG database which is used universally for ECG analysis purpose. MIT-BIH database for normal sinus rhythm is sampled at 128 Hz and the data is available at uniform intervals of 7. 8125 ms. To use this data for analysis purpose with various techniques like artificial neural networks, correlation techniques etc. , it is required to have samples at desired intervals. Hence this paper proposes an image processing method to convert the samples at desired intervals, so that the MIT-BIH database can be used widely and universally.
