Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Fetal heart rate (HR) monitoring is necessary for accessing the state of the fetus during pregnancy and labor. Non-invasive electrodes are used to acquire the abdominal ECG recording. The abdominal ECG not only contains the fetal ECG but also the maternal ECG and other undesirable signals generated due to body motion activity and muscle contractions. Since the most significant contamination is due to the maternal ECG, in this paper, we propose a framework for estimating fetal HR from non-invasively acquired abdominal ECG recordings. We focus on the cancellation of maternal ECG by a neural-network autoencoder that attempts to reconstruct the maternal ECG. Experiments performed on clinically-acquired subjects’ recordings demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, in terms of fetal heart rate estimation when compared to conventional methods.
