Abstract

In this paper, we present a method which can minimize distortion from desired signal in thoracic sound signal processing. We firstly chose the proper wavelet mother function to reduce noise components. Secondly, we chose a clean thoracic sound, then added Gaussian noise and 3 step(10, 15, 20db) uniform noise to it. Finally, the various wavelet functions are applied for noise cancellation. To evaluate the efficiency of this study, we computed SNR and RSE value. Then we found the optimal mother wavelet function for thoracic sound.
