Noise level estimation plays an important role in many applications of signal and image processing, like denoising, compression and detection. Recently, deep neural networks have also been increasingly used for this purpose. In this paper, we develop an effective algorithm of noise level estimation of ECG segments based on trained denoising autoencoder (DAE) with a statistical thresholding method. An important observation is that a well-trained DAE model provides a clean representation of the corrupted training dataset. Two identical cascaded trained DAE models are considered to estimate the statistical properties, e.g., mean and standard deviation, from the trained DAE outputs after applying noise free aligned and jittered training dataset respectively. Two statistical thresholds are calculated from these statistical properties to classify whether the ECG segment is noise-free or jittered or noisy segment. The accuracy of the proposed method is quite promising in classifying and estimating unknow noise level.
