Abstract
The most striking waveform in an electrocardiogram (ECG) is the QRS complex. The detection of the R wave is the first step in any automatic analysis of the ECG. In this paper, we propose a new method based on a preprocessing of ECG signal in order to restore and enhance it properly. For this purpose, we use the intrinsic components issues from the empirical modal decomposition. To emphasize and extract R waves, we proceed to a decomposition of ECG signal by bionic wavelet transform. Finally thresholding time/amplitude is applied to determine the position of the R-wave. The algorithm tests have been carried out on the signals QT database.
