To remove noise when extracting fetal heart sound from Doppler fetal heart echo signal
the threshold denoising method based on wavelet transform is adopted according to the signal features
and the denoising threshold and the estimation for original noise variance are investigated to modify the coefficient of threshold operators for different scales based on actual signal intensity
the noise variance and the number of decomposition layers. This method has been employed to process actual Doppler fetal heart echo signal
the result verifies that the method enables to heighten the signal-to-noise ratio by five times than the traditional filter and accurately calculate fetal heart rate.
