Abstract :
This study introduces a method for the automatic extraction of the child´s R-wave positions from a non-invasive multi-channel fetal ECG (FECG) record (according to the CinC 2013 Challenge). The method is based on eliminating the influence of the mother´s heartbeats, defining the presumed multi-channel shape of the child´s R-wave and its recognition in the record. The method is programmed using the C# language. The tested FECG data series were “set A” and “set B” provided by CinC.
