Firstly, the heart sound is periodically segmented, and then each single-cycle heart sound is decomposed into a group of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN). These IMFs are then segmented to a series of frames, which is used to calculate the refine composite multiscale dispersion entropy (RCMDE) as the characteristic representation of heart sound. In the simulation experiments I, carried out on the open heart sounds database Michigan, Washington and Littman, the feature representation method was combined with the heart sound segmentation method based on logistic regression (LR) and hidden semi-Markov models (HSMM), and feature selection was performed through the Fisher ratio (FR). Finally, the Euclidean distance (ED) and the close principle are used for matching and identification, and the recognition accuracy rate was 96.08%. To improve the practical application value of this method, the proposed method was applied to 80 heart sounds database constructed by 40 volunteer heart sounds to discuss the effect of single-cycle heart sounds with different starting positions on performance in experiment II. The experimental results show that the single-cycle heart sound with the starting position of the start of the first heart sound (S1) has the highest recognition rate of 97.5%. In summary, the proposed method is effective for heart sound biometric recognition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22020238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,21]],"date-time":"2020-02-21T08:59:47Z","timestamp":1582275587000},"page":"238","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Biometric Identification Method for Heart Sound Based on Multimodal Multiscale Dispersion Entropy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Xiefeng","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"},{"name":"National and Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of RF Integration &amp; Micro-Assembly Technology, Nanjing 210003, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0037-6054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pengfei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Chenjun","family":"She","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Nanjing 210023, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"237","article-title":"An introduction to heart sounds identification technology","volume":"42","author":"Cheng","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sci.
