In this paper a new approach for automatic quantification
of acoustic parameters of healthy and pathologic newborns cries is
presented. This study included F0, RF1, RF2, percentage and tuning
duration, Transition duration , slope RF2 and RF1:RF2 ratio. The
Results from statistical analysis revealed that distribution of these
acoustics cry parameter depend on the pathology of newborn. In this
work we have successful identify quantitative relationship between
studied acoustics cry characteristics and studied diseases. Our
conclusion from this work, that quantification of variability of these
parameters is useful for differentiating pathologic cry from healthy
cry of newborn. It can be use in early diagnostic of newborn diseases.
Keywords: newborn cry;
resonances frequencies; tuning, transition duration, slope RF2, RF1:RF2
ratio.
