The cardiovascular attack is a more dangerous than other diseases and it is measured by ECG (Electro cardiograph) signals which is like a noisy signal in real time, especially in the field of telemedicine environment. The noisy ECG signals have more motion artifacts, electrical interference, etc. An adaptive filtering approach based on Discrete Wavelet Transform and an artificial neural network is proposed to reduce the noise in ECG signal. The quality of de-noised signal is improved by SVM algorithm. This suggested approach can successfully take out a broad scope of noise and our method achieve up to almost 82% improvement on the SNR of de-noised signals. The MATLAB simulation results shown clearly about the improvement of ECG signal with SNR value.
