Modeling and Clustering Analysis of Pulmonary Crackles (2009)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
The objective of this study is to perform two complementary analyses of pulmonary crackles, i.e. modeling and clustering, in order to interpret crackles in time-frequency domain and also determine the optimal number of crackle types and their characteristics using the modeling parameters. Since the crackles are superimposed on background vesicular sounds, a preprocessing method for the elimination of vesicular sounds from crackle waveform is also proposed for achieving accurate parameterization. The proposed modeling method, i.e. the wavelet network modeling, interprets the transient structure of crackles in the time-frequency space with a small number of components using the time-localization property of wavelets. In modeling analysis, complex Morlet wavelets are selected as transfer functions in the hidden ...
