Signal Separation by Nonlinear Projections: The Fetal ECG
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply a locally linear projection technique which has been developed for noise reduction in deterministically chaotic signals to extract the fetal component from scalar maternal electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings. Although we do not expect the maternal ECG to be deterministic chaotic, typical signals are eeectively connned to a lower dimensional manifold when embedded in delay space. The method is capable of extracting fetal heart rate even when the fetal component and the noise are of comparable amplitude. If the noise is small, more details of the fetal ECG, like P{ and T{waves, can be recovered.

Extract Fetal ECG from Single-Lead Abdominal ECG by De-Shape Short Time Fourier Transform and Nonlocal Median
The multiple fundamental frequency detection problem and the source separation problem from a single-channel signal containing multiple oscillatory components and a nonstationary noise are both challenging tasks. To extract the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) from a single-leadmaternal abdominal ECG, we need to solve both challenges. We propose a novel method to extract the fetal ECG from a singl...

In this paper, we propose a technique of artificial intelligence called adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for canceling maternal electrocardiogram (MECG) in fetal electrocardiogram extraction (FECG).This technique is used to estimate the MECG present in the abdominal signal of a pregnant woman. The FECG is then extracted by subtracting the estimated MECG from the abdominal signal. P...

Fetal ECG extraction has an important role in the medical diagnosis during pregnancy. This problem can be modeled from the approach of blind source extraction. The mathematical modeling of fetal ECG extraction using ICA algorithm is described in this paper. It also proposes an efficient BSS method (FCOMBI) for the extraction of fetal ECG. This algorithm combines the strengths of non-Gaussianity...

In this paper, we address the imminent problem which arises when researchers unjudiciously use a linear and instantaneous (memoryless) model for the source mixing structures of independent component analysis (ICA), also known as blind source separation (BSS), in persuit of separating noisy and frequently nonstationary combined mother and fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from cutaneous meas...
متن کاملBlind Separation of Fetal Ecg from Single Mixture Using Svd and Ica
In this paper, we propose a novel blind-source separation method to extract fetal ECG from a single-channel signal measured on the abdomen of the mother. The signal is a mixture of the fetal ECG, the maternal ECG and noise. The key idea is to project the signal into higher dimensions, and then use an assumption of statistical independence between the components to separate them from the mixture...
