Abstract
When monitoring human vital signs, breathing is one of the most critical physiological metrics. In areas with limited resources and a shortage of trained medical professionals, automated analysis of abnormal breathing patterns may prove advantageous to healthcare systems. In this paper, we implemented the architecture of five transfer learning models to classify individuals' breathing patterns using our proposed method which uses hybrid scalogram image-based features. We implemented the Sleep Breathing Detection Algorithm (SBDA) for extracting the actual breathing signals from ultra-wideband (UWB) radar for the pre-processing method. Later, the signals were converted to hybrid scalogram image-based representations before being classified using the VGG16, DenseNet, Xception, ResNet, and MobileNet models. The performance of the proposed method was validated using two other image representations: a standard image and a spectrogram image. The overall result showed that the proposed method obtained the highest classification accuracy on the test set for all pre-trained models.
