Modeling and Reproducing Textile Sensor Noise: Implications for Textile-Compatible Signal Processing Algorithms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Smart textiles provide an opportunity to simultaneously record various electrophysiological signals, e.g., ECG, from the human body in a non-invasive and continuous manner. Accurate processing of ECG signals recorded using textile sensors is challenging due to the very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Signal processing algorithms that can extract ECG signals out of textile-based electrode recordings, despite low SNR are needed. Presently, there are no textile ECG datasets available to develop, test and validate these algorithms. In this paper we attempted to model textile ECG signals by adding the textile sensor noise to open access ECG signals. We employed the linear predictive coding method to model different features of this noise. By approximating the linear predictive coding residual signals using Kernel Density Estimation, an artificial textile ECG noise signal was generated by filtering the residual signal with the linear predictive coding coefficients. The synthetic textile sensor noise was added to the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database (MITDB), thus creating Textile-like ECG dataset consisting of 108 trials (30 min each). Furthermore, a Python code for generating textile-like ECG signals with variable SNR was also made available online. Finally, to provide a benchmark for the performance of R-peak detection algorithms on textile ECG, the five common R-peak detection algorithms: Pan & Tompkins, improved Pan & Tompkins (in Biosppy), Hamilton, Engelse, and Khamis, were tested on textile-like MITDB. This work provides an approach to generating noisy textile ECG signals, and facilitating the development, testing, and evaluation of signal processing algorithms for textile ECGs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
