This project investigated the differences between the coughs of individuals who tested positive and negative for COVID-19, and a comparative analysis was employed to determine if the features of the signals investigated were successful at indicating the presence of the virus within an individual.
Within this project, the cough audio samples of various patients were displayed in both the time and frequency domains to obtain a visual understanding of the differences between the coughs and thereafter, six features were selected and extracted from the sampled signals. These six features were investigated, and a conclusion was drawn as to whether there was a correlation between them and the presence of COVID-19.
