Abstract

This paper proposes a robust segmentation method for differentiating consecutive inspiratory/expiratory episodes of different types of tracheal breath sounds. This has been done by applying minimal Walsh basis functions to transform the original input respiratory sound signals. Decision module is then applied to differentiate transformed signal into respiration segments and gap segments. The segmentation results are improved through a refinement scheme by new evaluation algorithm which is based on the duration of the segment. The results of the experiments, which have been carried out on various types of tracheal breath sounds, show the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed segmentation method.
