Author and Year Framework Input/Features Technique Results
Pathology driven classification Anomaly driven classification
[21] Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficients (LPCC) Multilayer Perceptron Classifier Accuracy of 99.22% was obtained
[22] Mel Spectrograms with clipped black (zero energy) regions RespireNet framework consisting of ResNet-34 trained on concatenation-based augmented samples of respiratory cycles along with device- specific optimizations. Achieved a sensitivity of 0.54 and specificity of 0.83 in classifying wheezes (W), crackles (C), both wheezes and crackles (B) and healthy/normal (N) respiratory cycles.
[23] Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and Power Spectrum Density (PSD) For breath detector, models such as KNN, Random Forest and Logistic Regression were proposed. All models achieved a precision of 0.98 and recall of 0.99, 0.98 and 0.99 respectively.
For anomaly detection engine, models such as Logistic Regression, SVM, ANN, Random Forest and KNN were used. SVM and Logistic Regression achieved a precision and recall of 0.93, 0.94 and 0.91, 0.91 respectively, All other models achieved a precision and recall of 0.92 and 0.91 respectively.
