Abstract
This paper aimed to evaluate the effect of various electrode configurations on applying a convolutional neural network (CNN) to recognize uterine contraction (UC) with Electrohysterogram (EHG) signals. Seven 8-electrode configurations and thirteen 4-electrode configurations were selected from the 4 × 4 electrode grid in the Icelandic 16-electrode EHG database. EHG signals were divided into UC and non-UC sections of 45 seconds and saved as images. Each 8-electrode configuration with 7152 images and 4-electrode configuration with 3576 images were applied to train CNN to recognize UCs. A scoring method was proposed based on the area under the curve (AUC) and the accuracy to evaluate the effect of electrode configurations on recognizing UCs. The EHG signals from the 4 electrodes on the upper left of the uterus showed the best classification performance (AUC = 0.79, Accuracy = 0.72, Score = 2.30).
