Comparative study of three time-frequency representations with applications to a novel correlation method

September 1, 2011

The effect of three time-frequency representations on a novel correlation algorithm is studied. By representing a signal in the time-frequency domain, a redundant representation of the signal is obtained. The algorithm presented relies on such redundancies to extrapolate some significant features of the signal. The developed scheme has been applied to heart sound analysis using real recordings from patients, where the opening snap (OS) is distinguished from the third heart sound (S3). The results for the three time-frequency transforms are compared and very encouraging results have been obtained with S-transform.
