This study introduces a novel method for detecting wheezes in respiratory sounds using Cepstral analysis and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). This approach achieves up to 90% accuracy in identifying abnormal wheezing sounds, improving upon traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical acoustics
  • Signal processing
  • Machine learning

Background:

  • Traditional wheeze detection relies on empirical thresholds, making it susceptible to noise and artificial factors.
  • Accurate detection of wheezing in respiratory sounds is crucial for diagnosing respiratory conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To classify normal and abnormal (wheezing) respiratory sounds using Cepstral analysis within Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs).
  • To improve the accuracy and robustness of wheeze detection compared to conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • Respiratory sound signals were segmented and characterized using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs).
  • Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) were trained to represent normal and wheezing sound classes.
  • Classification was performed using the Maximum Likelihood criterion based on GMM comparisons.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method achieved up to 90% accuracy in identifying wheeze sounds.
  • Optimal performance was observed with 16 Gaussian mixture components in the GMMs.
  • The Cepstral analysis approach demonstrated improved robustness against environmental noise and artificial factors.

Conclusions:

  • Cepstral analysis combined with GMMs offers a highly accurate and reliable method for detecting wheezes in respiratory sounds.
  • This technique provides a significant advancement over traditional wheeze detection algorithms.
  • The study highlights the potential of machine learning for automated respiratory sound analysis.
