BM4151 Bio Signal Processing Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 To introduce the characteristics of different biosignals
 To discuss linear and non-linear filtering techniques to extract desired information
 To demonstrate the significance of wavelet detection applied in biosignal processing.
 To extract the features from the biosignal
 To introduce techniques for automated classification and decision making to aid diagnosis

UNIT I SIGNAL, SYSTEM AND SPECTRUM

Characteristics of some dynamic biomedical signals, Noises- random, structured and physiological noises. Filters- IIR and FIR filters. Spectrum – power spectral density function, cross-spectral density and coherence function, cepstrum and homomorphic filtering. Estimation of mean of finite time signals.

UNIT II TIME SERIES ANALYSIS AND SPECTRAL ESTIMATION

Time series analysis – linear prediction models, process order estimation, non-stationary process, fixed segmentation, adaptive segmentation, application in EEG, PCG and HRV signals, model based ECG simulator. Spectral estimation – Blackman Tukey method, periodogram and model based estimation. Application in Heart rate variability, PCG signals.

UNIT III ADAPTIVE FILTERING AND WAVELET DETECTION

Filtering – LMS adaptive filter, adaptive noise cancelling in ECG, improved adaptive filtering in FECG, EEG and other applications in Bio signals, Wavelet detection in ECG – structural features, matched filtering, adaptive wavelet detection, detection of overlapping wavelets.

UNIT IV ANALYSIS OF BIOSIGNAL

Removal of artifact – ECG, Event detection –ECG, P Wave, QRS complex, T wave, Correlation analysis of ECG signals, Average of Signals-PCG, ECG and EMG.

UNIT V BIOSIGNAL CLASSIFICATION AND RECOGNITION
