Wavelet applications for Larynx Disorders Diagnosis
Introduction What is Larynx?
Speech How do we speak? Speaking is made up of two mechanical actions called Phonation and Articulation
Common Larynx Disorders Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD) Vocal Tremor Vocal Fold Paralysis
Other Common Disorders Laryngeal Cancer Edema Nodules Polyp
Voice Characteristics Amplitude Frequency Energy Entropy Fractal Dimension
Amplitude Maximum amplitude to Minimum amplitude ratio
Energy Total Energy Energy in Frames
Energy Application Total Energy Noise Test Signal to Noise Ratio( Future Use) Energy in Frames Recording Environment Characteristics
Entropy Shannon Entropy p-Norm Entropy log-Energy Entropy ✓
Fractal Dimension N ∆ is the number of times the signal sign is changed.
Signal The main signal is a 3-second.wav file in which the user simply says “a”
Basic Process 1- Chopping the Signal between two points 2- Segmenting the Chopped Signal

Wavelets What are Wavelets? Wavelets are mathematical functions that cut up data into different frequency components, and then study each component with a resolution matched to its scale.
Wavelet Packets Wavelet packets are particular linear combinations of wavelets.
