A novel two-level fusion feature for mixed ecg identity recognition

Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing standard of biometric identification, it is difficult to meet the requirements of data size and accuracy in practical application for training a single ECG (electrocardiogram) database. The paper aims to construct a recognition model for processing multi-source data and proposes a novel ECG identification system based on two-level fusion features. Firstly, the features of Hilbert transform and power spectrum are extracted from the segmented heartbeat data, then two features are combined into a set and normalized to obtain the elementary fusion feature. Secondly, PCANet (Principal Component Analysis Network) is used to extract the discriminative deep feature of signal, and MF (MaxFusion) algorithm is proposed to fuse and compress the two layers learning features. Finally, a linear support vector machine (SVM) is used to obtain labels of single feature classification and complete the individual identification. The recognition results of the proposed two-level fusion PCANet deep recognition network achieve more than 95% on ECG-ID, MIT-BIH, and PTB public databases. Most importantly, the recognition accuracy of the mixed database can reach 99.77%, which includes 426 individuals.
