Our approach combines a diverse training set with techniques like Hough transform, U-Net based segmentation, and mask vectorization to reconstruct ECG signals from printouts. We assess our models’ performance using the 10-fold stratified cross-validation (CV) split of the PTB-XL dataset. Our model achieves an average CV signal-to-noise ratio of 17.02 and an official Challenge score of 12.15 on the hidden set, securing first place in the competition.

This paper’s team, SignalSavants, won the 2024 George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge by developing a method to reconstruct ECG signals from printouts. The goal is important because many ECGs are still recorded on paper worldwide. Digitizing them could help create more diverse datasets and enable automated analyses. But there’s a catch: different recording standards and image quality can make it hard for models to generalize well.
