摘要
This paper describes two simple algorithms for detection of uterine contractions during labour using the uterine electromyogram recorded from the abdominal surface. The location of a contraction is extracted from the signal's energy using either an amplitude- or derivative-based algorithm. For our recordings, these algorithms managed to correctly locate the majority of contractions, with an average success rate of 87.4% for the derivative-based algorithm and 85.6% for the amplitude-based algorithm.
