Denoising of the heart sound signal is crucial part of the heart sound signal analysis, as it reduces the interfering noise such as respiration noise, gastric noise, speech, motion artifacts, and power-line interference from the signal. The In-band noise in a phonocardiogram (PCG) signal refers to noise or artifacts that overlap with the frequency range of interest for major heart sounds which is typically 20–100 Hz.

摘要

Denoising of the heart sound signal is crucial part of the heart sound signal analysis, as it reduces the interfering noise such as respiration noise, gastric noise, speech, motion artifacts, and power-line interference from the signal. The In-band noise in a phonocardiogram (PCG) signal refers to noise or artifacts that overlap with the frequency range of interest for major heart sounds which is typically 20–100 Hz. To reduce this in-band noise, a Daubechies-wavelets based approach is proposed. The parameters of Dabuchies-wavelets are revamped. To judge the proficiency of the proposed method, a novel performance-metric-index, Noise-area-difference (NAD) has been introduced. It evaluates the Denoising performance. The proposed method is compared with three other existing methods. The comparison results reveal that the proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art Denoising of Heart sound signals.
