Motion artifact removal (MR) is one of the essential issues in processing raw ECG signals since it could not be simply solved by using classic filtering. In this paper, a QRS detection based Motion Artifact Removal algorithm (QRSMR) is proposed. The proposed method detects the entire QRS complex and removes the noise between two QRS complexes, while recovering P and T-waves. As verified in the tests on simulated noisy ECG signals, QRSMR outputs with seriously contaminated ECG signals have an increase of the correlation with their original clean signals from 40% to nearly 80%, demonstrating the improved noise removal ability of QRSMR. Moreover, in the tests on real ECG signals measured on volunteers with a flexible wearable ECG monitoring device developed at Fudan University, QRSMR is able to recover P-wave and T-wave from the contaminated signal, which shows its enhanced performance on motion artifact reduction comparing with adaptive filtering method and other methods based only on empirical mode decomposition.
