BCG Artifact Removal Using Improved Independent Component Analysis Approach
Executive Summary
This study introduces an improved Independent Component Analysis (ICA) approach combined with k-means clustering for artifact removal in Ballistocardiography (BCG) signals. The methodology involves preprocessing raw BCG data using FIR filters, ICA decomposition, and clustering based on power spectrum efficiency to identify and remove artifacts. Experimental results demonstrate superior artifact removal performance compared to existing methods, validated using a dataset of 17 subjects from Georgia Institute of Technology.
