1. A method for generating electrocardiogram (ECG) signals for a human body using contactless ECG sensors, the method comprising:
receiving contactless ECG signals from an array of contactless ECG sensors;
detecting one or more body parts located in close proximity of the sensor array;
selecting for the detected body parts contactless ECG sensors providing the highest signal quality; and
producing a standard ECG signal based on the contactless ECG signals received from the selected contactless ECG sensors associated with the detected body parts;
the method further comprising obtaining an outline of a portion of the human body detected by the sensor array, and detecting the one or more body parts in the body outline using a set of rules.
