Abstract
The importance of lung sound analyses is increasing day by day very rapidly. In this paper, we present a new method for analysis of two classes of lung signals namely wheezes and crackles. The procedure used in this article is based on improved Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) called Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) to analyze and compare continuous and discontinuous adventitious sounds with EMD. These two proposed procedures decompose the lung signals into a set of instantaneous frequency components. Function (IMF). The continuous and discontinuous adventitious sounds are present in an asthmatic patient, produces a non-stationary and nonlinear signal pattern. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) decomposes such characteristic signals. The instantaneous frequency and spectral analysis related to dual techniques specified above are utilized by IMF to investigate and present the outcome in the time-frequency distribution to investigate the qualities of inbuilt properties of lung sound waves. The Hilbert marginal spectrum has been used to represent total amplitude and energy contribution from every frequency value. Finally, the resultant EEMD analysis is better for wheezes that solves mode mixing issues and improvisation is seen over the EMD method.
Highlights
The time-frequency analysis of adventitious sounds became more popular to achieve high accuracy of the diagnosed result
The above equation may be subtracted by original adventitious wave x(t) to get desired Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) component and procedure must be repeated for all the IMFs
The energy spectra are plotted separately, and one can notice the continuous spectra in case of continuous adventitious sound RSW (CASRSW) and this is continuous wheezing signal encountered in an asthmatic patient
Summary
The time-frequency analysis of adventitious sounds became more popular to achieve high accuracy of the diagnosed result. The wavelet transform is certifiably not a reasonable system for nonlinear and nonstationary oscillatory-like waveforms from the adventitious information, in such circumstance empirical mode decomposition (EMD) of Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) which is iterative method finds the most encouraging procedure. It gives the particular level of frequencies extend that can't be anticipated ahead of time by us. The analysis technique finds the envelopes among minima and maxima alongside residuals and IMF's segments It finds a reasonable position among different adventitious sound investigation system and in the meantime as it is a specific procedure expends additional time length to process the whole 20-second span wave. The upgraded EMD and EEMD with noise-free level are accomplished
