Abstract

The purpose of our research is to develop a method for recognizing abnormal lung sounds without the need of a medical specialist.Listening to the sounds of the human body is one of the most important methods of checking someone's health. However,identification of abnormal lung sounds is difficult for an untrained person.We differentiated true abnormal sounds from interfering noise by investigating the fact that lung sounds are generated periodically in relation to the breathing cycle.
