Abstract

This paper considers the novel QRS-detector of ECG signal based on the consecutive application of band-pass filtering, Hilbert transform and adaptive thresholding. The robustness of various QRS-detectors for processing model ECG signals to the presence of intensive noises and artifacts was researched. The performance of the proposed method as well as some other established and well-known algorithms for QRS-detection was further verified for different recordings of clinical ECG signals from the Physionet MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database.
