To develop an accurate and suitable method for measuring the embryonic heart rate in vitro, a system combining Laplacian eigenmaps and empirical mode decomposition has been proposed. The proposed method assess the heart activity in two steps; signal generation and heart signal analysis. Signal generation is achieved by Laplacian eigenmaps (LEM) in conjunction with correlation co-efficient, while the signal analysis of the heart motion has been performed by the modified empirical mode decomposition (EMD). LEM helps to find the template for the atrium and the ventricle respectively, whereas EMD helps to find the non-linear trend term without defining any regression model. The proposed method also removes the motion artifacts produced due to the the non-rigid deformation in the shape of the embryo, the noise induced during the data acquisition, and the higher order harmonics. To check the authenticity of the proposed method, 151 videos have been investigated. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in comparison to three recent methods.
