This invention discloses a multi-level, multi-stage electrocardiogram (ECG)
signal classification and recognition method,
system, and device. The steps of this invention are as follows: Collecting
surface ECG signals from subjects; constructing time-domain features, frequency-domain features, and electrocardiographic dynamic features; inputting these three types of features into a preset neural
network model to calculate their local confidence scores; calculating the global
confidence score based on electrocardiographic dynamic topological differences; and determining whether the current classification should be used as the final result, or whether to use the next feature for further discrimination, based on the relationship between the global
confidence score and the local confidence scores of the corresponding features. This invention more comprehensively depicts the dynamic changes of ECG signals and fully utilizes the multi-dimensional information of the signals. This multi-level
feature extraction strategy can more comprehensively characterize the properties of ECG signals under different physiological and
pathological states; the introduction of a multi-stage mechanism, utilizing the collaborative
verification and dynamic decision-making of global and local confidence scores, significantly improves the reliability of the classification results and effectively avoids misjudgments.
