Lung Sound Noise Reduction Using Gabor Time-Frequency Masking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Gabor expansion is a mathematical tool, which provides a joint time-frequency representation of a given signal by decomposing it into time-frequency elementary signals called Gabor atoms. It has been used in a variety of signal processing applications, including biomedical signal processing. In this paper we present a time-frequency masking technique based on Gabor expansion for both heart sound localization and reduction problem. Gabor coefficients of lung sound segments recorded from trachea are calculated and masked to remove the distinctive heart sound effects. Reconstruction of lung sound is achieved from modified Gabor coefficients without heart sound noise. Keywords— Lung sound, lung sound signal processing, heart sound reduction, gabor expansion, time-frequency filtering

Time-Frequency Sparsity by Removing Perceptually Irrelevant Components Using a Simple Model of Simultaneous Masking
We present an algorithm for removing timefrequency components, found by a standard Gabor transform, of a “real-world” sound while causing no audible difference to the original sound after resynthesis. Thus this representation is made sparser. The selection of removable components is based on a simple model of simultaneous masking in the auditory system. Important goals were the applicability to...
متن کاملTime-shared channel identification for adaptive noise cancellation in breath sound extraction
Noise artifacts are one of the key obstacles in applying continuous monitoring and conrputer-assisted analysis of lung sounds. Traditional adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) methodologies work reasonably well when signal and noise are stationary and independent. Clinical lung sound auscultation encounters an acoustic environment in which breath sounds are not stationary and often correlate with ...
متن کاملEvolutionary spectral analysis and the generalized Gabor expansion
In this paper, we present a connection between the discrete Gabor expansion and the evolutionary spectral theory. Including a scale parameter in the Gabor expansion, we obtain a new representation for deterministic signals that is analogous to the Wold-Cramer decomposition for non-stationary processes. The energy distribution resulting from the expansion is easily calculated from the Gabor coee...

Background and aims: Undoubtedly, noise and vibration are major problems of industrial world and lot of people are very exposed to these phenomena in their workplace or residential areas. Researchers have shown that exposure to noise may increase the risks related to personal health, like nervous frailty, extreme irritability, muscle cramps, stress and anxiety, dizziness, headache and migraine,...
متن کاملHybrid active noise barrier with sound masking
In this paper, a hybrid active noise barrier (ANB) with sound masking capability is considered. To protect the speech privacy, several sound masking techniques have been developed. However, these sound masking techniques based on the superposition of the masker and original sound will lead to increase in the loudness of the sound after masking. Against this problem, this paper proposes a soundp...
