Abstract:This paper presents an approach for automatic segmentation of cardiac events from non-invasive sounds recordings, without the need of having an auxiliary signal reference. In addition, methods are proposed to subsequently differentiate cardiac events which correspond to normal cardiac cycles, from those which are due to abnormal activity of the heart. The detection of abnormal sounds is based on a model built with parameters which are obtained following feature extraction from those segments that were previous… Show more
