Abstract

Recognizing environmental sounds is a basic audio sigFnal processing problem. The goal of the authors’ work is on the characterization of unstructured environmental sounds for understanding and predicting the context surrounding of an agent or device. Most research on audio recognition has focused primarily on speech and music. Less attention has been paid to the challenges and opportunities for using audio to characterize unstructured audio. The authors’ research investigates issues in characterizing unstructured environmental sounds such as the development of appropriate feature extraction algorithm and learning techniques for modeling backgrounds of the environment.
