    Abstract:
    Wheezes are abnormal sounds which are known to be relevant to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD). The analysis of such signals is especially useful in patient monitoring or pharmacology. Respiratory sounds are dependent on the flow and the volume. Furthermore, they can be the result of a complex mixture of events. The analysis of lung sounds can be greatly improved with time-frequency techniques because these methods highlight the evolution of the spectra of events. In this paper, we present the application of the Adaptive Local Trigonometric Decomposition (ALTD) to lung sound analysis. This analysis provides an optimal representation of the signal in the time-frequency domain with a lattice which is adapted in time. In our work, the parameterization of the ALTD is studied for the detection of wheezing phenomena.
