From ECG Signals to Representative-Morphology Heatmaps for Biometric Recognition

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 23, 2026 · UTC

Electrocardiography (ECG) contains subject-specific morphology that supports biometric recognition, yet image-based performance depends on how the waveform is rendered. We introduce representative-morphology heatmaps, a deterministic ECG-to-image representation adapted from ECGXtractor. Within each block of ten aligned beats, the five beats closest to the block mean are averaged into a 400 by L matrix and rendered either as a conventional trace or as a dense cardiac-time-by-lead heatmap. Since both representations contain identical physiological samples, their comparison isolates the effect of
