In this paper, a new method was put forward for automatic recognition of the first heart sounds (S1) and the second heart sounds (S2). After the original heart sound signal was preprocessed, the heart sound envelope was extracted by using the mathematical morphology. Then on the heart sound envelope, S1 and S2 were recognized. Eighty heart sound samples collected were used for testing the algorithm. The accuracy of recognition was 86%, and was 100% for the normal heart sound. The result showed that the algorithm proposed in this paper had high performance, which could be used as a basis for further analysis of heart sound.
