title: [A new method using the technique of cubic spline interpolation to remove baseline wander].
abstract: The present methods available for correction of baseline wander with cubic spline interpolation technique all determine the fiducial points from P-R intervals. However, the determination of the fiducial points can be adversely affected by a noisy signal or an uneven P-R interval. In this paper, we introduce a new method of determining fiducial points by using the feature of high frequency of QRS wave. First, we correct the baseline approximately by using a FIR filter, then find the position of R peak and its amplitude change after filtering. The experiments demonstrate that the previous position and amplitude change can be looked as the position and amplitude of a fiducial point. Finally, we estimate a continuous baseline by joining fiducial points with spline. Our experiment results show that this is a better filtering method in comparison with the one introduced in reference paper [3].
