Detection, classification and localization of acoustic events in the presence of background noise for acoustic surveillance of hazardous situations
Abstract
Evaluation of sound event detection, classification and localization of hazardous acoustic events in the presence of background noise of different types and changing intensities is presented. The methods for discerning between the events being in focus and the acoustic background are introduced. The classifier, based on a Support Vector Machine algorithm, is described. The set of features and samples used for the training of the classifier are introduced. The sound source localization algorithm based on the analysis of multichannel signals from the Acoustic Vector Sensor is presented. The methods are evaluated in an experiment conducted in the anechoic chamber, in which the representative events are played together with noise of differing intensity. The results of detection, classification and localization accuracy with respect to the Signal to Noise Ratio are discussed. The results show that the recognition and localization accuracy are strongly dependent on the acoustic conditions.We also found that the engineered algorithms provide a sufficient robustness in moderately intense noise in order to be applied to practical audio-visual surveillance systems.
