This paper proposes a robust and real-time capable algorithm for classification of the firstand second heart sounds. The classification algorithm is based on the evaluation of the envelope curveof the phonocardiogram. For the evaluation, in contrast to other studies, measurements on twelveprobands were conducted in different physiological conditions. Moreover, for each measurement theauscultation point, posture and physical stress were varied. The proposed envelope-based algorithmis tested with two different methods for envelope curve extraction: the Hilbert transform andthe short-time Fourier transform. The performance of the classification of the first heart soundsis evaluated by using a reference electrocardiogram. Overall, by using the Hilbert transform,the algorithm has a better performance regarding the F 1 -score and computational effort. Theproposed algorithm achieves for the S 1 classification an F 1 -score up to 95.7% and in average 90.5 %.The algorithm is robust against the age, BMI, posture, heart rate and auscultation point (exceptmeasurements on the back) of the subjects. The ECG and PCG records are available from the authors.
