Automatic detection of inspiration related snoring signals from original audio recording

Inspiration related snoring signals (IRSS) are essential for doctors and researchers to develop further study and establishment of personal health database. How to detect IRSS automatically from original audio recording is significant in methods of acoustic based Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosis and monitoring. We proposed a systematic approach combining signal processing with machine learning techniques to detect IRSS from audio recording. Both the experimental results and computer studies demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
