Item Deep Neural Network Models for Detection of Arrhythmia based on Electrocardiogram Reports(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Ghuge, S.; Kumar, N.; Shenoy, T.; Kamath S․, S.Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an indicative technique using which the heartbeat time series of a patient is recorded on the moving strip of paper or line on the screen, for irregularity analysis by experts, which is a time-consuming manual process. In this paper, we proposed a deep neural network for the automatic, real-time analysis of patient ECGs for arrhythmia detection. The experiments were performed on the ECG data available in the standard dataset, MIT-BID Arrhythmia database. The ECG signals were processed by applying denoising, detecting the peaks, and applying segmentation techniques, after which extraction of temporal features was performed and fed into a deep neural network for training. Experimental evaluation on a standard dataset, using the evaluation metrics accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity revealed that the proposed approach outperformed two state-of-the-art models with an improvement of 2-7% in accuracy and 11-16% in sensitivity. © 2020 IEEE.Item Enhancing soil organic carbon estimation accuracy: Integrating spatial vegetation dynamics and temporal analysis with Sentinel 2 imagery(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Mruthyunjaya, P.; Shetty, A.; Umesh, P.This article introduces an improved method for estimating Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) using Sentinel 2 images, with a specific emphasis on the Dakshina Kannada area in India. By examining 364 soil samples, SOC estimation models were constructed using Random forests (RF) and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), focusing on the impact of nearby vegetation pixels. The approach consisted of classifying soil samples by the presence of plant pixels at distances of 0, 10, and 20 m, and evaluating the influence of dry vegetation by the use of the Normalised Burn Ratio 2 (NBR2). The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in the precision of the model (by up to 20 %) when vegetation pixels within a 20-meter radius of the sample locations were omitted. The research also included a temporal analysis utilizing Sentinel-2 images from April 2017 to May 2023. This analysis showed strong relationships between the amount of exposed soil and the accuracy of predicting soil organic carbon (SOC) levels. These results emphasize the need to take into account both the spatial dynamics of vegetation and the temporal variations in bare soil covering to get an accurate estimate of soil organic carbon (SOC). This study improves the accuracy and dependability of SOC evaluations by including geographical and temporal aspects, providing useful insights for agricultural and ecological applications. © 2024 The Author(s)
