Respiratory sound denoising using sparsity-assisted signal smoothing algorithm

Noises are the unavoidable entities which stands as a big barrier in the field of computerized lung sound (LS) based disease diagnosis, as it impairs the quality of LS and therefore greatly misleads the clinical interpretations done based on that. It has numerous sources, of which a few of them could be the noises due to body sounds, environmental noises, power line noises and recording artifacts, which easily contaminates the LS recordings. This paper presents a novel denoising algorithm to eliminate the noises from LS recordings in a more powerful way using Butterworth band-pass filter and sparsity assisted signal smoothing (SASS) algorithm. This study is carried out over LS captured from 80 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), 80 pneumonia and 80 healthy participants in a clinical environment. Each of the recorded LS is denoised using Butterworth band-pass filter and sparse-assisted signal smoothing algorithm. The denoising performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated on the basis of denoising performance parameters. As per the evaluation of the denoising performance parameters, it is observed that the proposed denoising method suppressed the LS noises with the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 66.8 dB and with the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of 78.5 dB. The proposed endeavour can be recommended for clinical use for producing noise free LSs to bring effective interpretations. The future endeavours involve the suppression of the heart sound noises from the LS recordings.

Diagnostic ambiguity between chronic pulmonary diseases like asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is very high, as they exhibit similar symptoms, which is the factor responsible for misdiagnosis, leading to heavy deaths every year. To prevent misdiagnosis, some useful work is highly required. This article presents the implementation of a computerized lung sound (LS) based method to classify asthma and COPD cases. The study is conducted on 80 asthma, 80 COPD and 80 healthy LSs. The LS denoising is carried out using empirical mode decomposition (EMD), Hurst analysis and spectral subtraction method. Wavelet entropy (WE) and wavelet packet energy (WPE) features of LS’s are extracted. Various classifiers like support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and discriminant analysis (DA) are accessed to classify healthy, COPD and asthma using WE and WPE features of LS to produce better outcomes. Using the proposed algorithm, the study discriminates between healthy, asthma and COPD cases based on LS with a considerable classification accuracy of 99.3% using the decision tree (DT) classifier. Thus, the study confirms the successful differentiation of asthma and COPD based on LS. Future endeavours will be based on the validation of this algorithm to distinguish the real-time LS data acquired from asthmatic and COPD patients.
