A reliable evaluation approach for multichannel signal denoising algorithms based on a novel arterial pulse acquisition system
HELIYON(2024)
Abstract
Background: Tactile sensors are utilized to measure multichannel pulse signals in pulse wave analysis (PWA). Owing to noise interferences, researchers have applied various denoising algorithms on multichannel pulse signals. To comprehensively assess these algorithms, numerous evaluation metrics have been proposed. However, these studies did not investigate the noise mechanisms in depth and lacked reference pulse signals, thus making the evaluations insufficiently objective. Materials and methods: An applicable denoising evaluation approach for multichannel pulse signal algorithms based on an arterial pulse acquisition system is established by superimposing realworld multichannel noise to the reference signals. The system, comprising a SphygmoCor and a uniaxial noise acquisition device, allows us to acquire single-reference pulse signals as well as real-world multichannel noise. Results: We assess eight popular denoising algorithms with three evaluation metrics, including amplitude relative error (ARE), mean square error (MSE) and increased percentage signal-noise ratio (SNR%). Our proposed approach provides accurate and objective evaluations of multichannel pulse signal denoising. Notably, classic algorithms for single-channel denoising are not recommended for multichannel denoising. Comparatively, RPCA-based algorithms can denoise pulse signals independently for each channel. Conclusion: This study sets the stage for the establishment of accurate and objective pulse signal denoising evaluations and provides insights for data-driven clinical diagnoses in cardiovascular medicine.
