Title
Automated Lung Sound Analysis For Detecting Pulmonary Abnormalities
Abstract
Identification of pulmonary diseases comprises of accurate auscultation as well as elaborate and expensive pulmonary function tests. Prior arts have shown that pulmonary diseases lead to abnormal lung sounds such as wheezes and crackles. This paper introduces novel spectral and spectrogram features, which are further refined by Maximal Information Coefficient, leading to the classification of healthy and abnormal lung sounds. A balanced lung sound dataset, consisting of publicly available data and data collected with a low-cost in-house digital stethoscope are used. The performance of the classifier is validated over several randomly selected non-overlapping training and validation samples and tested on separate subjects for two separate test cases: (a) overlapping and (b) non-overlapping data sources in training and testing. The results reveal that the proposed method sustains an accuracy of 80% even for non-overlapping data sources in training and testing.
