Abstract

This paper describes the theoretic framework and applications of automatic audio content analysis. Research in multimedia content analysis has so far concentrated on the video domain. We demonstrate the strength of automatic audio content analysis. We explain the algorithms we use, including analysis of amplitude, frequency and pitch, and simulations of human audio perception. These algorithms serve us as tools for further audio content analysis. We use these tools in applications like the segmentation of audio data streams into logical units for further processing, the analysis of music, as well as the recognition of sounds indicative of violence like shots, explosions and cries.
