Contribution of the work

Instead of large set of features, a small set of

features are chosen judiciously
Normally, frame level features are summarized
by considering the mean and variance of the
features. Here, a new feature summarization
technique is proposed based on the co-
occurrences of the feature vectors

Contribution of the work (contd..)
RANSAC is utilized for classification and that
works well inspite of the presence of the
diversity in audio data.
Speech and music data are classified using the
features computed from the cooccurrence
matrices of ZCR ans STE
Music signals are classified as song (music
with voice) and instrumental (music without
voice) using spectrogram based features

Contribution of the work (contd..)
Instrumental signals are classified
hierarchically according to the instrument
type. Wavelet and MFCC based features are
deployed for this purpose
Song is classified according to their genre. In
this context novel features to compute
rhythmic and melodic aspects are proposed
along with the feature based on amplitude
envelope
