چکیده

In this paper we present a method to search for environmental sounds in large unstructured databases of user-submitted audio, using a general sound events taxonomy from ecological acoustics. We discuss the use of Support Vector Machines to classify sound recordings according to the taxonomy and describe two use cases for the obtained classificationmodels: a content-based web search interface for a large audio database and a method for segmenting field recordings to assist sound design.

Content-based Retrieval from Unstructured Audio Databases Using an Ecological Acoustics Taxonomy

In this paper we describe a method to search for environmental sounds in unstructured databases with user-submitted material. The goal of the project is to facilitate the design of soundscapes in virtual environments. We analyze the use of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a learning algorithm to classify sounds according to a general sound events taxonomy based on ecological acoustics. In our ...

An Ontological Framework for Retrieving Environmental Sounds Using Semantics and Acoustic Content

Organizing a database of user-contributed environmental sound recordings allows sound files to be linked not only by the semantic tags and labels applied to them, but also to other sounds with similar acoustic characteristics. Of paramount importance in navigating these databases are the problems of retrieving similar sounds using textor sound-based queries, and automatically annotating unlabel...

Emotional response to sound Influence of spatial determinants Master’s Thesis in the Master’s programme in Sound and Vibration

The emotional content of sound is greatly utilized in our everyday life, whether it is music or speech. Sounds which does not carry information by linguistic or musical harmonic patterns such as sounds that we hear in our everyday life, so called ecological sounds, conveys also information but in a more subtle way. Our emotions serve us by relating to these sounds and their inherent meaning, bu...

Image retrieval using the combination of text-based and content-based algorithms

Image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. In this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. For text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. Query in this system contains some keywords and an input...
