The project has been inspired by the need to find an efficient method for ECG Signal Analysis which is simple and has good accuracy and less computation time.udThe initial task for efficient analysis is the removal of noise. It actually involves the extraction of the required cardiac components by rejecting the background noise. Enhancement of signal is achieved by the use of Empirical Mode Decomposition method. The use of EMD was inspired by its adaptive nature.udThe second task is that of R peak detection which is achieved by the use of Continuous Wavelet Transform. Efficiency of the method is measured in terms of detection error rate.udVarious other methods of R peak detection like Hilbert Transform and Difference Operation Method are implemented and the results when compared with the Continuous Wavelet Transform prove that CWT is a better method.udThe simulation is done in MATLAB environment. The experiments are carried out on MIT-BIH database.udThe results show that our proposed method is very effective and an efficient method for fast computation of R peak detection.
