The invention discloses a method and a system for the rapid electrocardiograph identity recognition. The method mainly comprises a model training stage and a real-time testing stage. According to theinvention, the identity information of an individual is recognized and verified by collecting the electrocardiograph signals of the individual, so that the method belongs to the technical field of biological characteristic identity recognition. According to the method, firstly, electrocardiograph windows are cut at any initial point position, wherein any window is larger than one heart beat length. Each electrocardiograph window is randomly divided into fixed-length fragments, and the characteristic extraction is conducted by utilizing a full-automatic characteristic extraction layer. Secondly, extracted characteristics are preliminarily classified by utilizing a non-linear classifier. Thirdly, a recognition result is generated through the highest entropy voting process. Finally, the rapidelectrocardiograph identity recognition is achieved through the parallel treatment of the characteristic extraction and the non-linear classifier. According to the invention, the detection of characteristic points and the fusion of characteristics are not required, so that the recognition speed is high. The electrocardiograph signal-based identity recognition can be carried out in real time, andthe verification crowd is wide.
