Abstract
Conversion of ECG papers into digital form is very important for both clinical and research purposes. This paper proposes some improvements to the existing digitization process by selecting appropriate image resolution during scanning and using neighborhood and median approach during the extraction and digitization of the ECG waveform. Results indicate that the developed software preserve the essential features of the ECG waveform.
