Several filtering methods for the detection of gravitational wave bursts in interferometric detectors are presented. These are simple and fast methods which can act as online triggers. All methods are compared to matched filtering with the help of a figure of merit based on the detection of supernovae signals simulated by Zwerger and Müller.
