Abstract
Heart beat is an unavoidable source of interference during lung sound recording. This disturbance is more significant at low and medium breathing flow rates. Removing heart sounds (HS) from lung sound recordings or vice versa is a challenging task but of great interest for respiratory specialists and cardiologists. In this study, to separate the two signals, a novel HS separation method based on independent component analysis (ICA) is developed. This method applies an ICA algorithm to the spectrograms of two simultaneous lung sound recordings obtained at two different locations on the chest and yields the independent spectrograms of the separated signals. Then, by implementing the inverse short time Fourier transform (ISTFT), the separated signals are reconstructed in the time domain. The method was applied to data of two healthy subjects. Analysis of the results as well as subjective inspections indicate the efficiency of the proposed method in terms of HS separation from lung sounds

Independent Component Analysis

TL;DR: Independent component analysis as mentioned in this paper is a statistical generative model based on sparse coding, which is basically a proper probabilistic formulation of the ideas underpinning sparse coding and can be interpreted as providing a Bayesian prior.

Independent Component Analysis

TL;DR: A statistical generative model called independent component analysis is discussed, which shows how sparse coding can be interpreted as providing a Bayesian prior, and answers some questions which were not properly answered in the sparse coding framework.
