A Novel Enhancement Approach Following MVMD and NMF Separation of Complex Snoring Signals

Abstract

Snoring is a prominent characteristic of sleep-disordered breathing, and its detection is critical for determining the severity of the upper airway obstruction and improving daily quality of life. Home snoring analysis is a highly invasive method, but it becomes challenging when a sleeping partner also snores, leading to distorted evaluations in such environments. In this article, we tackle the problem of complex snore signal separation of multiple snorers. This article introduces two audio-based methods that efficiently extract an individual's snoring signal, allowing for the analysis of sleep-breathing disorders in a normal sleeping environment without isolating individuals. In the first method, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identifies the source components from the finite number of modes generated by the decomposition of the snoring mixture using Multivariate Variational Mode Decomposition (MVMD). The second method applies Blind Source Separation (BSS) based on Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to separate the single-channel snoring mixture. Furthermore, the decomposed signals are tuned using the iterative enhancement algorithm to adequately match the source snoring signals. These methods were evaluated by simulating various real-time snoring recordings of 7 subjects (2 men, 2 women, and 3 children). The correlation coefficient between the source and its separated signal was computed to assess the separation results, exhibiting good performance of the methods used. The enhancement approach also demonstrated its efficiency by increasing the correlation over to 80% in both methods. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms are effective and practical for separating mixed snoring signals.
