Abstract The health of a human body is monitored through several physiological measurements such as the heart rate, the blood pressure, the oxygen saturation levels, brain activity, etc. These measurements are taken at predefined points in the body and recorded as temporal signals or colorful images. During the diagnosis phase, physicians analyze these records visually (sometimes it is not visual with the progress in medicine, better to say: sometimes visually) to take treatment decisions. These records are usually contaminated with noise. The origin of this noise may be diverse. For instance
