State - Space Averaging for Maternal Ecg Suppression
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a new method of maternal electrocardiogram suppression for fetal component extraction from one-channel maternal abdominal bioelectric signals is proposed. The method performs maternal ECG estimation by application of state-space averaging. The estimated signal is subtracted from the original one and this way suppressed. The method parameters allow us to balance between the precision of maternal ECG suppression and the necessity not to attenuate the fetal QRS complexes. A small database of the maternal abdominal bioelectric signals is used to investigate the developed system for fetal heart rate determination. The final assessment is based on the detection performance index. It is shown that by proper choice of the parameters we can tune the system so that it is more effective than the classical approach based on template subtraction.

متن کاملSimple Approach for Tremor Suppression in Electrocardiograms
Abstract: Electrocardiogram recordings are very often contaminated by high-frequency noise usually power-line interference and EMG disturbances (tremor). Filtering out the tremor remains a priori partially successful since it has a relatively wide spectrum, which overlaps the useful ECG frequency band by aperiodic noise. The proposed simple approach for tremor suppression uses heuristic relatio...
متن کاملExtraction of Fetal QRS Complex from Abdominal ECG Signals
Background: Extraction of Fetal ECG signal from non-invasive abdominal ECG signal is an important clinical application. Fetal ECG signal provides significant and valuable information about the fetal heart growth and health condition. Objective: Abdominal signals are usually corrupted by high amplitude maternal ECG signals and often found superimposed with the Fetal ECG signal. Suppression of ma...
متن کاملProjective filtering of time-aligned beats for foetal ECG extraction
Extraction of the foetal electrocardiogram from single-channel maternal abdominal signals without disturbing its morphology is difficult. We propose to solve the problem by application of projective filtering of time-aligned ECG beats. The method performs synchronization of the beats and then employs the rules of principal component analysis to the desired ECG reconstruction. In the first stage...
