Abstract
Segmentation of the phonocardiogram into its major sound components is the first step in the automated diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities. Almost all of the existing phonocardiogram segmentation algorithms utilize absolute amplitude or frequency characteristics of heart sounds, which vary from one cardiac cycle to the other and across different patients. The objective of this work is to provide an efficient phonocardiogram segmentation technique, under difficult recording situations, by utilizing the underlying complexity of the dynamical system (heart) giving rise to the heart sound. Complexity-based segmentation is invariant to amplitude and frequency variations of the heart sound and yields better time gates for heart sounds.

Efficient Heart Sound Segmentation and Extraction Using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition and Kurtosis Features

TL;DR: An efficient heart sound segmentation method that automatically detects the location of first ( S1) and second ( S2) heart sound and extracts them from heart auscultatory raw data is presented here and paves the way for further exploitation of the diagnostic value of heart sounds in everyday clinical practice.

Extracting qualitative dynamics from experimental data

TL;DR: In this paper, the notion of qualitative information and the practicalities of extracting it from experimental data were considered, based on ideas from the generalized theory of information known as singular system analysis due to Bertero, Pike and co-workers.

Heart sound segmentation algorithm based on heart sound envelogram

TL;DR: A segmentation algorithm which separates the heart sound signal into four parts: the first heart sound, the systole, the second heart sound and the diastole is described, based on the normalized average Shannon energy of a PCG signal.

Stochastic complexity measures for physiological signal analysis

TL;DR: This paper takes a paradigm shift and investigates four stochastic-complexity features and their advantages are demonstrated on synthetic and physiological signals; the latter recorded during periods of Cheyne-Stokes respiration, anesthesia, sleep, and motor-cortex investigation.
