Fetal　movement　(FM)　is　an　important　indicator　of　fetal　health.　However,　the　current　methods　of　FM　detection　are　unsuitable　for　ambulatory　or　long-term　observation.　This　paper　proposes　a　non-contact　method　for　monitoring　FM.　We　recorded　abdominal　videos　from　pregnant　women　and　then　detected　the　maternal　abdominal　region　within　each　frame.　FM　signals　were　acquired　by　optical　flow　color-coding,　ensemble　empirical　mode　decomposition,　energy　ratio,　and　correlation　analysis.　FM　spikes,　indicating　the　occurrence　of　FMs,　were　recognized　using　the　differential　threshold　method.　FM　parameters　including　number,　interval,　duration,　and　percentage　were　calculated,　and　good　agreement　was　found　with　the　manual　labeling　performed　by　the　professionals,　achieving　true　detection　rate,　positive　predictive　value,　sensitivity,　accuracy,　and　F1_score　of　95.75%,　95.26%,　95.75%,　91.40%,　and　95.50%,　respectively.　The　changes　in　FM　parameters　with　gestational　week　were　consistent　with　pregnancy　progress.　In　general,　this　study　provides　a　novel　contactless　FM　monitoring　technology　for　use　at　home.
