Abstract

Singer identification is a difficult topic in music information Retriveal research area. Because the background instrumental accompaniment in audio music is regarded as noise source that has to reduce a performance. This paper proposes a singer identification algorithm thai is able to automatically identify a singer in an audio music signal with background music by using Time-Frequency audio feature. The main idea is used a spectrogram to able effective Time-Frequency feature and used as the input for classification. The proposed technique is test with 20 different singer. Sereval classification technique are compared,such as Feed-Forward Neural Network, k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Minimum least square linear classifier(Fisher). The experimental result on singer identification using a spectrogram with Feed-Forward Neural Networkand and k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) can effectively identify the singer in music signal with background music more than 92%.
