b) A high speed QRS detection algorithm
 Template Cross correlation method
 In this method template is cross correlated with the incoming signal.
 The correlation co-efficient is calculated .
 The template is considered as window that moves over the incoming signal
point by point.
 The alignment of QRS template sequence with the QRS segment of the
signal occur atleast once as the window moves over the incoming signal.
 During this process the value of cross correlation coefficient always falls
betweeb +1& -1.
 +1 — co-efficient indicates the signal and template exactly match.
 -1 — co-efficient indicates mismatch of template & signal.
 QRS complex is detected only when the cross correlation coefficient attain its
maximum .
