Abstract

Auscultation and analysing of lung sound is widely used in clinical area for diagnosis of lung diseases. Due to the non-stationary nature of lung sounds conventional frequency analysis technique is not a successful method for respiratory sound analysis. In this paper, classification of normal and abnormal lung sound using wavelet coefficient intended. Respiratory sounds are decomposed into the frequency subbands using wavelet transform and a set of statistical features are inspected from the sub-bands. Then, lung sounds classified as normal and abnormal using these statistical features. Artificial neural network and support vector machine are used for classification process.
