FCOMBI Algorithm for Fetal ECG Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 based blind source separation and crosscorrelation based BSS. This is done by combining the separation abilities of two BSS algorithms such as EFICA and WASOBI algorithms. The Simulation results show the clear winner as FCOMBI which makes it especially acceptable method for the extraction of fetal ECG from abdominal ECG signal.

Background: Fetal electrocardiography is a developing field that provides valuable information on the fetal health during pregnancy. By early diagnosis and treatment of fetal heart problems, more survival chance is given to the infant.Objective: Here, we extract fetal ECG from maternal abdominal recordings and detect R-peaks in order to recognize fetal heart rate. On the next step, we find a be...
متن کاملComparison of Algorithms for Fetal ECG Extraction
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable technique that has been in use for over a century. The analysis of fetal ECG signal has always been an interesting topic in the field of signal processing. The presence of noises in the ECG signal causes distortion in the signal morphology. While analyzing the fetal ECG this distortion of the signal is much more severe as the fetal ECG is much weaker than t...

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...

Observing fetal health is very important for mothers and the fetus well-being. Most of the conditions can be monitored via ECG, so Fetal ECG extraction plays an important role. Extracting Fetal ECG implies filtering maternal ECG and other artifacts and due to the presence of reference signal which is mothers ECG from chest adaptive filter is used much often. This paper proposes adaptive noise c...

Fetal heart rate (FHR) is an important determinant of fetal health. Cardiotocography (CTG) is widely used for measuring the FHR in the clinical field. However, fetal movement and blood flow through the maternal blood vessels can critically influence Doppler ultrasound signals. Moreover, CTG is not suitable for long-term monitoring. Therefore, researchers have been developing algorithms to estim...
