ICA may stabilize fetal HR extraction from abdominal ECG; leaves open clinical validation and outcome impact.
Abdominal fetal ElectroCardioGrams (fECGs) carry a wealth of information about the fetus including fetal Heart Rate (fHR) and signal morphology during different stages of pregnancy. Here we report our results on the implementation and evaluation of two non-adaptive signal processing methods suitable for fECG signal extraction, namely: the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Methods. We used the fetal heart rate extracted from fECG signals (in Beats Per Minute - BPM) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) as effective performance evaluation metrics for our applied methods. Our findings demonstrated that given adequate SNR, these methods produced excellent results in accurate determination of fHR. Furthermore, we found out that compared to the PCA Method, the ICA Method produces a lower variance in the detection of the fHR.

Kahánková et al. (2017) studied Fetal monitoring. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) vs. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was evaluated on Fetal heart rate (fHR) extraction accuracy and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method produced a lower variance in the detection of fetal heart rate compared to the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method.
