To overcome the ill-posed nature of the inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG) and stabilize the solutions, regularization is used. Despite several studies on noise, effect of prefiltering of ECG signals on the regularized inverse solutions has not been explored. We used Bayesian estimation for solving the inverse ECG problem with and without applying various prefiltering methods, and evaluated our results using experimental data that came from a Langendorff-perfused pig heart suspended in a human-shaped torso-tank. Epicardial electrograms were recorded during RV pacing using a 108-electrode array, simultaneously with ECGs from 128 electrodes embedded in the tank surface. Leave-one-beat-out protocol was used to obtain the prior probability density function (pdf) of electrograms and noise statistics. Noise pdf was assumed to be zero mean-Gaussian, with covariance assumptions: a) independent and identically distributed (noi-iid), b) correlated (noi-corr). Reconstructed electrograms and activation times were compared to those directly recorded by the sock for 3 beats selected from the recording. Noi-corr is superior to noi-iid when the training set is a good match to data, but for applications requiring activation time derivation, careful selection of preprocessing methods, in particular to adequately remove high frequency noise, and an appropriate noise model is needed.

Use of Activation Time Based Kalman Filtering in Inverse Problem of Electrocardiography Aydin, Umit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2008-11-27) The goal of this study is to solve inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG) in terms of epicardial potentials using body surface (torso) potential measurements. The problem is ill-posed and regularization must be applied. Kalman filter is one of the regularization approaches, which includes both spatial and temporal correlations of epicardial potentials. However, in order to use the Kalman filter, one needs the state transition matrix (STM) that models the time evolution of the epicardial potentials. In...
IMAGING THE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF THE HEART USING A KALMAN FILTER BASED APPROACH: COMPARISON OF RESULTS USING DIFFERENT STM'S Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-07-01) Kalman filter based solutions have been of particular interest in inverse problem of Electrocardiography (ECG) in recent years. One of the major problems with this approach however is the determination of the state transition matrix (STM) that relates the epicardial potentials at the current time instant to the potentials at the previous time instant. In this work, we use the solutions of Tikhonov regularization and Bayes-MAP algorithm to construct a STM, and we use these STMs in Kalman filtering. Our resul...
Use of genetic algorithm for selection of regularization parameters in multiple constraint inverse ECG problem Mazloumi Gavgani, Alireza; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) The main goal in inverse and forward problems of electrocardiography (ECG) is to better understand the electrical activity of the heart. In the forward problem of ECG, one obtains the body surface potential (BSP) distribution (i.e., the measurements) when the electrical sources in the heart are assumed to be known. The result is a mathematical model that relates the sources to the measurements. In the inverse problem of ECG, the unknown cardiac electrical sources are estimated from the BSP measurements and ...
Optimization of onshore steel drilling rigs using the convergence rate approach integrated metaheuristic search algorithms Salatin, Reza; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Mertol, Halit Cenan; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Despite the exceptional ability of the metaheuristics in locating the optimum solution of discrete optimization problems, the volume of the required analyses through these methods is burdensome. Optimization of large-scale structures having numerous load cases, as well as complex geometries, therefore, is not considered practical in construction industry. In current study, however, an effort has been made to pave the way for the industrialization of the structural optimization by enabling the traditional me...
Comparison of Kalman filter and Bayesian-MAP approaches in the spatio-temporal solution of the inverse electrocardiography Ters elektrokardiyografinin zaman-uzamsal çözümünde Kalman filtre ve Bayes-MAP yöntemlerinin karşilaştirilmasi Aydin, Ümit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2010-07-15) In this study some of the spatial and spatio-temporal methods for the solution of the inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG) are compared with each other. Comparisons are also made for the cases with geometric errors, where the location of the heart is shifted for 10mm and the size of the heart is reduced by 5%. The compared methods are the Kalman filter and Bayesian maximum a posteriori estimation (MAP). Two different Bayesian-MAP algorithms are used. While one uses only spatial information the other...
