  • Abstract
    Proposed approach, Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), has already been successfully applied in many engineering fields. In this work, unique properties of the HHT approach, like (1) decomposing and expansion of data into components so-called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) (2) localizing events in time-frequency space by using temporal frequency energy distribution. An experiment conducted to show that it is possible to extract the contraction locations in the uterine MMG signal.
