Microscopic abnormality classification of cardiac murmurs using ANFIS and HMM

Abstract

Auscultation of heart dispenses identification of the cardiac valves. An electronic stethoscope is used for the acquisition of heart murmurs that is further classified into normal or abnormal murmurs. The process of heart sound segmentation involves discrete wavelet transform to obtain individual components of the heart signal and its separation into systole and diastole intervals. This research presents a novel scheme to develop a semi-automatic cardiac valve disorder diagnosis system. Accordingly, features are extracted using wavelet transform and spectral analysis of input signals. The proposed classification scheme is the fusion of adaptive-neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and HMM. Both classifiers are trained using the extracted features to correctly identify normal and abnormal heart murmurs. Experimental results thus achieved exhibit that proposed system furnishes promising classification accuracy with excellent specificity and sensitivity. However, the proposed system has fewer classification errors, fewer computations, and lower dimensional feature set to build an intelligent system for detection and classification of heart murmurs.

Construction of saliency map and hybrid set of features for efficient segmentation and classification of skin lesion

“…In most of the existing literature, certain preprocessing steps (color correction/brightness, contrast enhancement) played a significant role in an accurate border detection, which leads to accurate classification (Nasir et al, ). Lately, several research studies are giving a special attention on color correction obtained or color space transformations (A. C. F. Barata, ; Fahad, Ghani Khan, Saba, Rehman, & Iqbal, ; Iqbal, Khan, Saba, & Rehman, , Iqbal, Ghani, Saba, & Rehman, ; Mughal, Muhammad, Sharif, Rehman, & Saba, ). Similarly, several machine learning techniques are also adopted in literature for lesion detection and classification such as adaptive thresholding, k‐means clustering (Agarwal, Issac, Dutta, Riha, & Uher, ), fuzzy c‐means (FCM) clustering (Masood & Al‐Jumaily, ), inutile fragment removal methods (Majtner, Lidayova, Yildirim‐Yayilgan, & Hardeberg, ), region growing methods (Mohamed et al, ), gradient vector flow (GVF) snakes (Flores & Scharcanski, ), Markov random field, convolution autoencoder NN (Chen, Shi, et al, ), and region fusion based multimodal technique (Yuan, Situ, & Zouridakis, ).…”

Fuzzy ARTMAP Approach for Arabic Writer Identification using Novel Features Fusion

“…Literature has been reviewed as well as a considerable number of features are tested to come out most appropriate features for the task on hand (Mughal et al, 2017b;Meethongjan et al, 2013;Lung et al, 2014;Fahad et al, 2018). The features that did not produce acceptable results were discarded.…”

Deep learning model integrating features and novel classifiers fusion for brain tumor segmentation

“…Brain tumors are also categorized based on their origin: primary brain tumors are the lesions that emerge within the brain whereas secondary brain tumors (metastatic tumors) originate at a different location of the body and move to the brain. There are different categorization schemes designed by researchers but the scheme designed by the World Health Organization (WHO) is considered to be the standard (Aurangzeb, Muhammad Attique, Saba, Javed, & Iqbal, ; Fahad, Khan, Saba, Rehman, & Iqbal, ; Husham, Alkawaz, Saba, Rehman, & Alghamdi, ; Jamal, Hazim Alkawaz, Rehman, & Saba, ; Khan et al, , ; Rehman, Abbas, Saba, Rahman, et al, ; Rehman, Abbas, Saba, Mehmood, et al, ; Rehman, Abbas, Saba, Mahmood, & Kolivand, ; Saba, ; Saba, Al‐Zahrani, & Rehman, ; Saba, Rehman, Mehmood, Kolivand, Uddin, et al, ; Saba, Rehman, Mehmood, Kolivand, & Sharif, ). WHO has made more than 120 categories for a brain tumor and each category is further graded from I to IV (Louis et al, ).…”
