ABSTRACT
In this paper we have employed a new method of R-peaks detection in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. This method is based on the application of the discretised Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) used for the Bionic Wavelet Transform (BWT). The mother wavelet associated to this transform is the Morlet wavelet. For evaluating the proposed method, we have compared it to others methods that are based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In this evaluation, the used ECG signals are taken from MIT-BIH database. The obtained results show that the proposed method outperforms some conventional techniques used in our evaluation.
