In respect to the main goal of our ongoing work for analyzing fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signals for monitoring the health of the fetus, we investigate in this paper the possibility of extracting the fetal heart rate (FHR) directly from the abdominal composite recordings. Our proposed approach is based on a combination of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and least mean square (LMS) adaptive filter. The FHR of the estimated FECG signal is finally compared to a reference value extracted from a FECG signal recorded by using a spiral electrode attached directly to the fetal scalp. The experimental results show that FHR can be successfully evaluated directly from the abdominal composite recordings without the need of using any external reference signal.
