Enhancing Sonic Browsing Using Audio Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collections of sound and music of increasing size and diversity are used both by typical computer users and multimedia designers. Browsing audio collections poses several challenges to the design of effective user interfaces. Recent techniques in audio information retrieval allow the automatic extraction of audio content information. This information can be used to inform and enhance audio browsing tools. In this paper we describe how audio information retrieval can be utilized to create novel user interfaces for browsing of audio collections. More specifically we report on recent work on two system prototypes: the Sonic Browser and Marsyas and our current work on merging the two systems in a common flexible system.

In previous work, the Sonic Browser was used for browsing large data sets of music [1]. In this paper, we report results from an updated version of the Sonic Browser for managing general sound resources on personal computers. In particular, we have evaluated browsing of everyday sounds. The investigation was directed at comparing browsing single versus multiple stream audio. The problem of soun...
متن کاملUsing Audio Time Scale Modification for Video Browsing
In the IBM CueVideo project we study various aspects of fully automated video indexing, browsing and retrieval. The technical aspects include audio processing, speech recognition, image processing and information retrieval. Equally important, however, is exploring user expectations and conducting user studies. We focus on the field of video for Training and Education, including Distributed Lear...
متن کاملBeyond the Query-By-Example Paradigm: New Query Interfaces for Music Information Retrieval
The majority of existing work in music information retrieval for audio signals has followed the content-based query-by-example paradigm. In this paradigm a musical piece is used as a query and the result is a list of other musical pieces ranked by their content similarity. In this paper we describe algorithms and graphical user interfaces that enable novel alternative ways for querying and brow...
