ECG Digitization Experiments

This repository contains archived PyTorch .pth checkpoints from ECG digitization research experiments (Kaggle competition).

About

These are model weights for ECG image-to-signal digitization - extracting ECG waveform values from paper ECG images.

Competition: ECG Image Digitization Challenge

Experiments Overview

V23 Architecture (Best Model)

① ConvNeXt-Base Encoder → L3 + L4 multi-scale features
② Feature Fusion (fine details + semantics)
③ U-Net Decoder with skip connections
④ Height Attention (learns vertical regions)
⑤ BiLSTM (temporal coherence)
⑥ Conv1D + Linear → Sigmoid (V22 head)
⑦ DSNT Sub-Pixel Head (Rank 3 winner technique)

Checkpoint Format

Each .pth file contains:

• model: Model state dict
• opt: Optimizer state dict
• epoch: Training epoch
• snr: Validation SNR (dB)
• mae: Mean Absolute Error (pixels)

Usage

import torch

# Load checkpoint
checkpoint = torch.load("v23/v23_epoch038.pth", map_location="cpu")

# Load model state
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model'])

# Check metrics
print(f"Epoch: {checkpoint['epoch']}")
print(f"SNR: {checkpoint['snr']:.2f} dB")
