Abstract

Wheeze is a general sign for obstructive airway diseases whose clinical diagnosis mainly depends on auscultating or X-ray imaging with subjectivity or harm. Therefore, this paper introduces an automatic, noninvasive method to detect wheeze which consists of STFT decomposition, preprocessing of the spectrogram, correlation-coefficients calculating and duration determining. In particular, duration determining takes the Haas effect into account, which facilitates us to achieve a better determination. Simulation result shows that the sensibility (SE), the specificity (SP) and the accuracy (AC) are 88.57%, 97.78% and 93.75%, respectively, which indicates that this method could be an efficient way to detect wheeze.
