Long-term monitoring of ECG via wearable monitoring systems has already been widely adopted to detect and prevent heart diseases. However, one of the main issues faced by wearable ECG monitoring systems is that motion artifacts significantly affect the systems' stability and reliability. Therefore, motion artifact reduction is a very challenging task in filtering and processing physiological signals. Based on the existing algorithms and ECG prior knowledge, in this paper, we propose an algorithm, CEEMDAN-IMFx-PCA-CICA, for motion artifact reduction in ambulatory ECG signals using single-channel blind source separation technique. Our algorithm first utilizes CEEMDAN to decompose the mixed signals into IMFs (intrinsic mode function) containing different source signal features, thereby forming new multi-dimensional signals. Using the correlation between IMFx (IMF component with the most ECG features) and each IMF, and PCA are then applied to reduce the dimension of each IMF. Finally, the blind separation of the source ECG signals is achieved by using CICA with IMFx as the constraint reference component. The results of our experiments indicate that our algorithm outperformed CEEMDAN-CICA, CEEMDAN-PCA-CICA, and improved CEEMDAN-PCA-CICA. Besides, the number of iterations of the CICA is significantly reduced; the separated source signal is better; the obtained result is stable. Furthermore, the separated ECG signal has a higher correlation with the source ECG signal and a lower RRMSE, especially in the case of high noise-to-signal ratios.
