ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for implementing a signal morphology preservation smoothing scheme. The smoothing scheme includes generating an output signal representative of a filtered version of the input signal, wherein the output signal is generated by adaptively removing low amplitude, high frequency noise components while simultaneously preserving signal morphology of the input signal. The smoothing scheme includes comparison of a distance metric against a distance threshold to determine whether an initial smoothed version of the input signal would be oversmoothed or undersmoothed. Then the smoothing scheme appropriately increments, decrements, or maintains the initial level of smoothing to generate an optimal smoothed signal representative of the output signal.
