Fetal beat detection in abdominal ECG recordings: global and time adaptive approaches.

abstract：:Skinfold anthropometry is a widely practiced technique often with little appreciation of its limitations. The large residual error appearing in any regressions of body density versus sums of skinfolds is primarily due to biological causes, in particular the non-constancy of the ratio of subcutaneous to total body fat....
