A Review on Time Series Motif Discovery Techniques an Application to ECG Signal Classification: ECG Signal Classification Using Time Series Motif Discovery Techniques

Ecg Signal Acquisition

ECG recordings of different subjects can be acquired from different publicly available databases (Goldberger et al, 2000 and chen et al, 2015) containing various pathological and normal conditions. Signals of these databases are available freely and they permit the creation of standardization for the evaluation of automatic cardiac conditions. The standardization has been developed by AAMI standards (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) in ANSI/ AAMI EC 57:1998/2008. The list of publicly available databases recommended by the standardization is available in Physionet (Goldberger et al, 2000) as shown in Table 1. One of the familiar databases used with time series motif discovery problem is MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database. The detailed descriptions of those data are available in Goldberger et al, 2000. Further, most of the time series motif discovery technique use UCR archive (chen et al, 2015). The UCR archive contains more than 100 time series datasets and the detailed description of data related to ECG signals are shown in Table 2.
