Automatic diagnosis of septal defects based on tunable-Q wavelet transform of cardiac sound signals

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new method for diagnosis of septal defects using TQWT.

• New feature set based on SAMDF derived from TQWT has been proposed.

• The effects of Q and decomposition levels on classification performance have been evaluated.

• Results have been evaluated with classification performance evaluation parameters and ROC graphs.

• Performance has been compared with existing TQWT based method with same datasets.
