Recognition of environmental sounds
Richard S. Goldhor · IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing · 1993
The author describes a preliminary study designed to answer the question, 'How well can familiar environmental sounds be identified?' By familiar is meant sounds on which the recognition system has been previously trained. Environmental sounds are sounds generated by acoustic sources common in domestic, business, and out-of-doors environments. The results of this study indicate that well-isolated familiar sounds can be recognized with high accuracy by applying standard statistical classification procedures to feature vectors derived from two-dimensional cepstral coefficients.>
