Inflection point analysis: A machine learning approach for extraction of IEGM active intervals during atrial fibrillation

作者:

Highlights:

• Introducing a novel 3D feature space based on characteristics of inflection points of IEGMs.

• Automatic clustering of active and inactive intervals of IEGM using an Expectation Maximization algorithm.

• Higher resolution in estimating the onsets and offsets of IEGMs due to using a non-windowing technique.

• Robustness to noise and baseline variations due to using a Laplacian of Gaussian filter.

• Low computational time which is independent of IEGM sampling rate.
