Pattern recognition methods applied to respiratory sounds classification into normal and wheeze classes.

22 Jul 2009 In this paper, we present the pattern recognition methods proposed to classify respiratory sounds into normal and wheeze classes. We evaluate and compare the feature extraction techniques based on Fourier transform, linear predictive coding, wavelet ... Read more...

A filter bank-based source extraction algorithm for heart sound removal in respiratory sounds.

8 Jul 2009 In this paper, we consider the problem of heart sounds (HS) removal from respiratory sounds (RS), and a novel semi-blind single-channel source extraction algorithm is proposed. The proposed method is able to extract the underlying pure RS from the ... Read more...

Acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds: a new technique for assessing dysphagia.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To perform acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds, using a microphone and a notebook computer system, in healthy subjects and patients with dysphagia affected by neurological diseases, testing the positive/negative predictive value of a ... Read more...
