• Abstract: Evaluating canine electrocardiograms (ECGs) is challenging due to noise that can obscure clinically relevant cardiac electrical activity. Common sources of interference include respiration, muscle activity, poor lead contact, and external electrical artifacts. Classical signal denoising techniques, such as filtering and wavelet-based methods, struggle to suppress diverse noise patterns while preserving morphological features critical for accurate ECG delineation. We propose an autoencoder-based neural network model and training strategy for ECG denoising as a preprocessing step for canine ECG analysis. The model is trained to reconstruct clean cardiac signals from noisy inputs, enabling effective noise reduction without degrading diagnostically important waveforms. Our approach demonstrates strong performance across both noisy and clean ECG recordings, indicating robustness to varying signal conditions and suitability for downstream delineation tasks.
