Fetal Heart Sounds Detection Using Wavelet Transform and Fractal Dimension

Fetal Heart Sounds Detection Using Wavelet Transform and Fractal Dimension

Phonocardiography is a non-invasive technique for the detection of fetal heart sounds (fHSs). In this study, analysis of fetal phonocardiograph (fPCG) signals, in order to achieve fetal heartbeat segmentation, is proposed. The proposed approach (namely WT–FD) is a wavelet transform (WT)-based method...
