Application of Generalized Filters for Estimation of Fetal Heart Rate Baseline
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of impulsive noise cancellation in digital signal area. The myriad and meridian filters are the type of robust filters which are very useful in suppressing the impulsive type of noise. The cost functions of theses filters have very similar structure. In this paper the generalized filter based on Lp norm is presented. The proposed filter operates in a wide range of impulsive noise due to the proper adjustment of p in the Lp norm. The presented filter is applied to suppress an impulsive noise in fetal heart rate (FHR) signal. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed filter.

A PCA/ICA based Fetal ECG Extraction from Mother Abdominal Recordings by Means of a Novel Data-driven Approach to Fetal ECG Quality Assessment
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 کاملFetal heart rate baseline estimation with analysis of fetal movement signal.
In order to assign appropriate baseline estimation algorithms to different fetal heart rate tracing, a method to evaluate the fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline combining with the fetal movement information was proposed. Fetal actography and tocography were used to extract the fetal movement information. The results showed that the combined method, where the fetal movement detection result was the...

In this paper, a new probability distribution, based on the family of hyperbolic cosine distributions is proposed and its various statistical and reliability characteristics are investigated. The new category of HCF distributions is obtained by combining a baseline F distribution with the hyperbolic cosine function. Based on the base log-logistics distribution, we introduce a new di...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Comparison of the Fetal Heart Rate Baseline Estimation Algorithms
A number of algorithms for estimating the so called fetal heart rate baseline was proposed so far. However, there is no reference pattern enabling their objective evaluation, and thus no methodology of comparing the competing algorithms still exists. In this paper we propose a method for evaluation of automatically determined baseline in reference to a group of experts, basing on ten separate g...
