Aim To do a literature survey of Computational Auditory Scene Analysis and look for features or techniques t hat can be used for purposes such as discriminating a particular sound (speech in this case) from all the other sounds.

The problem of overlapping harmonics is particularly acute in musical sound separation and has not been addressed adequately. We propose a monaural system based on binary time-frequency masking with an emphasis on robust decisions in timefrequency regions, where harmonics from different sources overlap. Our computational auditory scene analysis system exploits the observation that sounds from t...

The sound of a busy environment, such as a city street, gives rise to a perception of numerous distinct events in a human listener – the ‘auditory scene analysis’ of the acoustic information. Recent advances in the understanding of this process from experimental psychoacoustics have led to several efforts to build a computer model capable of the same function. This work is known as ‘computation...

Various grouping attributes have been translated into successful signal processing techniques that may be used in source separation, e.g., to separate speech from background. However, separation is not enough to know: What is the source of the sound? A next step beyond primitive ASA is schema-based ASA, to give meaning to the source, i.e. to map bottom-up audio features to the meaningful conten...

background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...

A remarkable achievement of the perceptual system is its scene analysis capability, which involves two basic perceptual processes: the segmentation of a scene into a set of coherent patterns (objects) and the recognition of memorized ones. Although the perceptual system performs scene analysis with apparent ease, computational scene analysis remains a tremendous challenge as foreseen by Frank R...
