| Summary: | <p class="aresumo">Fetal monitoring may help with possible recognition of problems in the fetus. This research work focuses on the design of the Back-propagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Adaptive Linear Neural Network (ADALINE) to extract the Fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) from the Abdominal ECG (AECG). FECG is extracted to assess the fetus well-being during the pregnancy period of a mother to overcome some existing difficulties regarding the fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring system. Different sets of ECG signal has been tested to validate the algorithm performance. The accuracy of the QRS detection using the designed algorithm is 99%. This research work further made a comparison study between various methods' performance and accuracy and found that the developed algorithm gives the highest accuracy. This paper opens up a passage to biomedical scientists, researchers, and end users to advocate to extract the FECG signal from the AECG signal for FHR monitoring system by providing valuable information to help them for developing more dominant, flexible and resourceful applications.</p> <p class="akeyword"> </p> |
