TLDR
The noise sensitivities of nine different QRS detection algorithms were measured for a normal, single-channel, lead-II, synthesized ECG corrupted with five different types of synthesized noise: electromyographic interference, 60-Hz power line interference, baseline drift due to respiration, abrupt baseline shift, and a composite noise constructed from all of the other noise types.
Abstract
The noise sensitivities of nine different QRS detection algorithms were measured for a normal, single-channel, lead-II, synthesized ECG corrupted with five different types of synthesized noise: electromyographic interference, 60-Hz power line interference, baseline drift due to respiration, abrupt baseline shift, and a composite noise constructed from all of the other noise types. The percentage of QRS complexes detected, the number of false positives, and the detection delay were measured. None of the algorithms were able to detect all QRS complexes without any false positives for all of the noise types at the highest noise level. Algorithms based on amplitude and slope had the highest performance for EMG-corrupted ECG. An algorithm using a digital filter had the best performance for the composite-noise-corrupted data. >

Modified approach for ECG signal denoising based on empirical mode decomposition and moving average filter

TL;DR: In this work white Gaussian noise is considered and results obtained by simulations show both qualitatively as well as quantitatively that the approach used here is really a very effective and promising one for denoising the ECG signals without losing its actual characteristics.

Design of high performance QRS complex detector for wearable healthcare devices using biorthogonal spline wavelet transform.

TL;DR: A high performance QRS complex detector applicable for wearable healthcare devices is proposed and Biorthogonal spline wavelet transform is chosen for the proposed detector as it has high signal to noise ratio (SNR) and uses only four coefficients for decomposition.

Estimation of QRS Complex Power Spectra for Design of a QRS Filter

TL;DR: The power spectral analysis shows that the QRS complex could be separated from other interfering signals, and it is observed that a bandpass filter with a center frequency of 17 Hz and a Q of 5 yields the best signal-to-noise ratio.
