A fusion study in speech / music classification
Julien Pinquier, Jean-Luc Rouas, Régine Andre-Obrecht · 2003
In this paper, we present and merge two speech / music classification approaches of that we have developed. The first one is a differentiated modeling approach based on a spectral analysis, which is implemented with GMM. The other one is based on three original features: entropy modulation, stationary segment duration and number of segments. They are merged with the classical 4 Hertz modulation energy. Our classification system is a fusion of the two approaches. It is divided in two classifications (speech/non-speech and music/non-music) and provides 94 % of accuracy for speech detection and 90 % for music detection, with one second of input signal. Beside the spectral information and GMM, classically used in speech / music discrimination, simple parameters bring complementary and efficient information.
