“…In 2008, the traditional first-derivative based squaring function method [ 11 ] and the Hilbert transform-based method [ 12 ], as well as their modifications with improved detection thresholds, were analyzed in the literature [ 13 ]. In 2013, Álvarez et al analyzed the performances of three algorithms [ 14 ], Pan and Tompkins algorithm [ 15 ], Hamilton and Tompkins algorithm [ 11 ], and a phasor transform-based algorithm [ 16 ]. However, some studies [ 9 , 10 , 13 , 14 ] quantitatively compared different QRS detection algorithms based on the same database, that is, the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database.…”

A systematical evaluation work was performed on ten widely used and high-efficient QRS detection algorithms in this study, aiming at verifying their performances and usefulness in different application situations. Four experiments were carried on six internationally recognized databases. Firstly, in the test of high-quality ECG database versus low-quality ECG database, for high signal quality database, all ten QRS detection algorithms had very high detection accuracy (F1 >99%), whereas the F1 results decrease significantly for the poor signal-quality ECG signals (all <80%). Secondly, in the test of normal ECG database versus arrhythmic ECG database, all ten QRS detection algorithms had good F1 results for these two databases (all >95% except RS slope algorithm with 94.24% on normal ECG database and 94.44% on arrhythmia database). Thirdly, for the paced rhythm ECG database, all ten algorithms were immune to the paced beats (>94%) except the RS slope method, which only output a low F1 result of 78.99%. At last, the detection accuracies had obvious decreases when dealing with the dynamic telehealth ECG signals (all <80%) except OKB algorithm with 80.43%. Furthermore, the time costs from analyzing a 10 s ECG segment were given as the quantitative index of the computational complexity. All ten algorithms had high numerical efficiency (all <4 ms) except RS slope (94.07 ms) and sixth power algorithms (8.25 ms). And OKB algorithm had the highest numerical efficiency (1.54 ms).

“…Another approach applies the Hilbert (HT) transform to find R-peaks by extracting the envelope of the ECG data [7], [8]. A narrow bandpass filter (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) Hz) is applied to eliminate motion artefacts and muscle activity and the derivative is utilised to remove the baseline drift [9], [10]. The approach by Pan and Tompkins (PT) [11] exhibits a high sensitivity for the R-peak detection -approximately the same as the five other algorithms compared in [12] -and its source code is publicly available.…”

Precise detection of R-peaks is a prerequisite in real-world ECG applications -this is particularly critical for wearable ECG where sensors are typically low resolution and embedded. Such recorded ECG data are typically contaminated by noise, motion artefacts, unbalanced skin-electrode impedance and other physiological signals. These affect the quality of R-peak detection and can consequently lead to failure in the evaluation of physiological functions or a misinterpretation of the state of the body, such as in monitoring stress. While numerous methods for R-peak detection are available for stationary and comparably noise-free ECG, robust DSP software for wearable devices is still emerging. To this end, a new approach which combines matched filtering and Hilbert transform is proposed. The RRintervals and cross-correlation are used in conjunction to not only automatically locate the R-peaks but also to display the candidate ambiguous peaks via an interactive graphical user interface. The performance of the proposed approach is compared to the wellknown Pan-Tompkins algorithm and is evaluated for two types of ECG databases: standard stationary data and low-SNR ECG data obtained from wearable ECG. The proposed method results in a distinctly higher positive predictivity and leads to more satisfying overall outcomes, especially for the critical call of low-SNR data.

“…Since every heart beat in a normal ECG signal is always accompanied by the QRS waveform, generally detecting heart beat can be done using a QRS detection algorithm. A QRS detection algorithm based on moving window integrator by [7] is widely known to give good results and is used as a base by other works [6]. [8] improved on [7] by using patient independent adaptive threshold.…”

Abstract—This paper proposed a new method for assessing signal quality from 12 lead ECG signal. The proposed method can be applied to incoming ECG data stream in one pass, does not involve computatively expensive filtering and does not require large memory space, which makes it especially useful for use in mobile device based ECG signal acquisition. The proposed method is verified on PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Chal- lenge 2011 12 lead ECG signals database, achieving a result of 89.98 percent accuracy when tested against the training dataset, and 87.4 percent accuracy when tested against the test data set.
