Abstract

Heart sound, or phonocardiogram (PCG), signals are often distorted by noise from respiration, movement, and the surrounding environment, which complicates accurate cardiac feature extraction in portable monitoring systems. This study aims to design and evaluate an effective digital filtering method to enhance PCG signal quality obtained from a low-cost acquisition system based on a condenser microphone sensor and an ESP32 microcontroller. The main contribution of this work is the implementation and comparison of two noise-reduction approaches: Butterworth band-pass filters of various orders and the Kalman filter applied to PCG signals acquired from mannequin-based simulations. Data were recorded for 10 seconds at a 1000 Hz sampling rate, processed in MATLAB, and analyzed using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to determine the optimal frequency ranges. Experimental results demonstrate that the 8th-order Butterworth band-pass filter achieved the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement, averaging 25.659 dB, outperforming other configurations. These findings indicate that an appropriately tuned Butterworth filter provides a simpler yet robust solution for real-time PCG denoising in embedded systems. Future work will integrate the filtering process directly into the ESP32 firmware and evaluate its performance on human subjects to enhance clinical applicability.

Abstract

Rapid population growth contributes to an increase in the volume of vehicles, creating major challenges in their management. One potential solution is the application of deep learning-based artificial intelligence technology for automatic detection of vehicle license plates. This research uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to evaluate the performance of various deep learning architectures in the detection process. Out of 125 articles identified, 20 articles were selected based on specific selection criteria. The analysis revealed that preprocessing techniques, such as HE, AHE, ECHE, CLAHE, and ECLACHE, have significant contributions in the processing of vehicle license plate datasets. These techniques were able to improve the visual quality of the images, thus supporting the detection process with an accuracy rate of more than 95%. This research also identified challenges, such as high computational requirements and large-scale data processing. Further research is recommended to apply preprocessing on standardized datasets to develop a reliable, efficient and sustainable detection system.
