Adaptivní metody extrakce abdominálního plodového elektrokardiogramu

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the fetal electrocardiogram recorded transabdominally. This method could become very efficient and essential tool in monitoring and diagnosing endangered fetuses during the pregnancy and the delivery. The greatest challenge connected with this kind of monitoring is the amount of noise that is recorded within the desired signal. This thesis aims at the use of adaptive methods for extracting fetal electrocardiogram from such abdominal signal. This thesis includes among others an extensive summary of this relatively new issue, classification and description of selected linear adaptive methods, and in particular, the design and the implementation of adaptive system for suppressing the ‚undesirable‘ maternal electrocardiogram.
