Speech/music discrimination for multimedia applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic discrimination of speech and music is an important tool in many multimedia applications. Previous work has focused on using long-term features such as differential parameters, variances, and time-averages of spectral parameters. These classifiers use features estimated over windows of 0.5–5 seconds, and are relatively complex. In this paper, we present our results of combining the line spectral frequencies (LSFs) and zero-crossing-based features for frame-level narrowband speech/music discrimination. Our classification results for different types of music and speech show the good discriminating power of these features. Our classification algorithms operate using only a frame delay of 20 ms, making them suitable for real-time multimedia applications.

New warped LPC-Based Feature for Fast and robust speech/Music Discrimination
Automatic discrimination of speech and music is an important tool in many multimedia applications. The paper presents a low complexity but effective approach for speech/music discrimination, which exploits only one simple feature, called Warped LPC-based Spectral Centroid (WLPC-SC). A three-component Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classifier is used because it showed a slightly better performance...

متن کاملRobust Features for Effective Speech and Music Discrimination
Speech and music discrimination is one of the most important issues for multimedia information retrieval and efficient coding. While many features have been proposed, seldom of which show robustness under noisy condition, especially in telecommunication applications. In this paper two novel features based on real cepstrum are presented to represent essential differences between music and speech...
متن کاملExperiments on Speech/Music Discrimination
The problem of speech/music discrimination has become increasingly important as automatic speech recognition system are applied to more real-world multimedia domains. One of the issue in the design of a signal classifier is the selection of an appropriate feature set that captures the temporal and spectral structures of the signal. Many features have been used in speech/music discrimination. Th...
متن کاملAudio Classification in Speech and Music: A Comparison between a Statistical and a Neural Approach
We focus the attention on the problem of audio classification in speech and music for multimedia applications. In particular, we present a comparison between two different techniques for speech/music discrimination. The first method is based on zero crossing rate and Bayesian classification. It is very simple from a computational point of view, and gives good results in case of pure music or sp...
