Classification of Signals01:30

Classification of Signals

1.6K
In signal processing, signals are classified based on various characteristics: continuous-time versus discrete-time, periodic versus aperiodic, analog versus digital, and causal versus noncausal. Each category highlights distinct properties crucial for understanding and manipulating signals.
A continuous-time signal holds a value at every instant in time, representing information seamlessly. In contrast, a discrete-time signal holds values only at specific moments, often denoted as x(n), where...

Heart Sounds01:15

Heart Sounds

4.3K
Heart sounds are generated by the turbulence in blood flow due to the closing of heart valves. These sounds are best perceived slightly away from the valves, where the blood flow disseminates the sound.
Auscultation is the process of listening to these internal body sounds using a stethoscope. The heart produces four types of sounds, but only two—S1 and S2—can usually be heard with a stethoscope.
S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V)...

Force Classification01:22

Force Classification

2.6K
Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Accurate heart sound segmentation in phonocardiograms (PCG) is crucial for automated cardiac diagnostics.
    • Traditional threshold-based methods have limitations, while probabilistic models like Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) offer improvements.
    • Incorporating state duration information, as in Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMMs), further enhances segmentation performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an improved HSMM-based method for accurate first and second heart sound segmentation in noisy PCG recordings.
    • To enhance emission probability estimation using logistic regression within the HSMM framework.
    • To implement a modified Viterbi algorithm for optimal state sequence decoding.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a Hidden Semi-Markov Model (HSMM) framework for heart sound segmentation.
    • Extended the HSMM with logistic regression for improved emission probability estimation.
    • Implemented a modified Viterbi algorithm for decoding the most likely sequence of heart sound states.
    • Evaluated the method on a large dataset of 10,172 seconds of PCG recordings from 112 patients.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed HSMM method achieved a high average F1 score of 95.63 ± 0.85% for heart sound segmentation.
    • This significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art method, which achieved 86.28 ± 1.55% on the same unseen test recordings.
    • Logistic regression-based emission probabilities and the modified Viterbi algorithm contributed to the superior performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed HSMM with logistic regression and an extended Viterbi algorithm provides a significant advancement in automatic heart sound segmentation.
    • This method demonstrates superior accuracy and robustness in identifying heart sounds from noisy real-world PCG data.
    • The findings suggest a promising approach for enhancing automated analysis of cardiac auscultation.
