Abstract

This paper reports the applications of a local non-linear projection technique to extract the fetal component in single-lead recordings from the abdomen of a pregnant woman. We propose the general planning, and then we determine and illustrate four important parameters in the algorithm. The results of experiments show that the method is effective for separating the fetal ECG from the maternal trace and from the other contaminations.
