Abstract
The invention provides a method of processing at least one heart sound signal, and the method comprises the step of: receiving (11) the at least one heart sound signal, segmenting (12) the heart sound signal into a plurality of segments, identifying (13) attribute information for each segment, annotating (14) each segment with corresponding attribute information, and outputting (15) an annotated Phonocardiogram for the at least one heart sound signal. The invention also provides a processing system for implementing the step of the methods as mentioned above.
Claims15
A method of processing at least one heart sound signal, comprising the steps of:
- receiving (11) the at least one heart sound signal,
- segmenting (12) the heart sound signal into a plurality of segments,
- identifying (13) attribute information for each segment,
- annotating (14) each segment with corresponding attribute information, and
- outputting (15) an annotated Phonocardiogram for the at least one heart sound signal.
A processing system (23) for processing at least one heart sound signal comprising:
- a receiving unit (231) for receiving the at least one heart sound signal,
- a segmenting unit (232) for segmenting the heart sound signal into a plurality of segments,
- an identifying unit (233) for identifying attribute information for each segment,
- an annotating unit (234) for annotating each segment with corresponding attribute information, and
- an outputting unit (235) for outputting an annotated Phonocardiogram for the at least one heart sound signal.
