Abstract

See full text

A computerized method extracts features from an acoustic signal generated from one or more sources. The acoustic signal are first windowed and filtered to produce a spectral envelope for each source. The dimensionality of the spectral envelope is then reduced to produce a set of features for the acoustic signal. The features in the set are clustered to produce a group of features for each of the sources. The features in each group include spectral features and corresponding temporal features characterizing each source. Each group of features is a quantitative descriptor that is also associated with a qualitative descriptor. Hidden Markov models are trained with sets of known features and stored in a database. The database can then be indexed by sets of unknown features to select or recognize like acoustic signals.
