Abstract

Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) allows decomposing an observed multicomponent signal into a set of monocomponent signals called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). EMD provides a large number of IMFs and it is important to select the fundamental IMFs and eliminate the redundant ones. This paper proposes a new criterion, based simultaneously on the Minkowski distance and the Jensen Rényi divergence of order α (α-JRD), to automatically select the appropriate IMFs in a set of the extracted ones. Examples, using synthetic and real-life heart sound signals, are presented in order to validate the performance of the proposed technique.
