In the current study, we develop signal processing tools for analysis of pediatric auscultations recorded under non-ideal noisy conditions. The proposed model is based on a biomimetic multi-resolution analysis of the spectro-temporal modulation details in lung sounds. The methodology provides a detailed description of joint spectral and temporal variations in the signal and proves to be more robust than frequency-based techniques in distinguishing crackles and wheezes from normal breathing sounds.2012.A multiresolution analysis for detection of abnormal lung sounds}, publisher = {IEEE Xplore}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/multiresolution-analysis-detection-abnormal-lung-sounds/}, pages = {3139-3142}, }
