Description
Summary:The goal of this paper is to develop a novel technique to validate diagnosed respiratory noises in infants and children with high accuracy and reduced time consumption. A large number of recorded lung sounds are acquired with varied cases of normal and abnormal respiratory sounds. Wavelet-based Dynamic Time Warping technique is utilized in the proposed approach and the recognition accuracy was found to be above 88% in average. All the sounds represent infants and children below 13 years old and collected from AUCH-Alexandria, Egypt. Keywords: Dynamic time warping, Discrete wavelet transform, Respiratory noises
