Abstract : |
Automatic discrimination of speech and music is an important tool in many multimedia applications. Previous work has focused on using long-term features such as differential parameters, variances, and time-averages of spectral parameters. These classifiers use features estimated over windows of 0.5?5 seconds, and are relatively complex. In this paper, we present our results of combining the line spectral frequencies (LSFs) and zero-crossing-based features for frame-level narrowband speech/music discrimination. Our classification results for different types of music and speech show the good discriminating power of these features. Our classification algorithms operate using only a frame delay of 20 ms, making them suitable for real-time multimedia applications. 1, |
