  • Discrimination of music and speech from the multimedia signal is an important task in audio coding and broadcast monitoring systems. This paper deals with the problem of feature parameter extraction for discrimination of music and speech. The wavelet transform is a multi-resolution analysis method that is useful for analysis of temporal and spectral properties of non-stationary signals such as speech and audio signals. We propose new feature parameters extracted from the wavelet transformed signal for discrimination of music and speech. First, wavelet coefficients are obtained on the frame-by-frame basis. The analysis frame size is set to 20 ms. A parameter $E_{sum}$ is then defined by adding the difference of magnitude between adjacent wavelet coefficients in each scale. The maximum and minimum values of $E_{sum}$ for period of 2 seconds, which corresponds to the discrimination duration, are used as feature parameters for discrimination of music and speech. To evaluate the performance of the proposed feature parameters for music and speech discrimination, the accuracy of music and speech discrimination is measured for various types of music and speech signals. In the experiment every 2-second data is discriminated as music or speech, and about 93% of music and speech segments have been successfully detected.

  • Discrimination between speech and music is important in many multimedia applications. In this paper, focusing on the spectral change characteristics of speech and music, we propose a new method of speech/music discrimination based on cepstral distance. Instead of using cepstral distance between the frames with fixed interval, the minimum of cepstral distances among neighbor frames is employed to increase discriminability between fast changing music and speech. And, to prevent misclassification of speech segments including short pause into music, short pause segments are excluded from computing cepstral distance. The experimental results show that proposed method yields the error rate reduction of$68\%$, in comparison with the conventional approach using cepstral distance.

  • Discrimination between speech and music is important in many multimedia applications. In our previous work, focusing on the spectral change characteristics of speech and music, we presented a method using the mean of minimum cepstral distances (MMCD), and it showed a very high discrimination performance. In this paper, to further improve the performance, we propose to employ time-averaged MFCC in computing the MMCD. Our experimental results show that the proposed method enhances the discrimination between speech and music. Moreover, the proposed method overcomes the weakness of the conventional MMCD method whose performance is relatively sensitive to the choice of the frame interval to compute the MMCD.

  • In this paper, we compared and analyzed the discrimination performance of speech/music about combinations of each features parameter. Audio signals are classified into 3 classes (speech, music, speech and music). On three types of features, Mel-cepstrum, energy, zero-crossings used to the experiments. Then compared and analyzed the best of the combinations between features to speech/ music discrimination performance. The best result is achieved using Mel-cepstrum, energy and zero-crossings in a single feature vector (speech: 95.1%, music: 61.9%, speech & music: 55.5%).

  • In this paper, we describe the comparison between the combination of features using a speech and music discrimination, which is classifying between speech and music on audio signals. Audio signals are classified into 3classes (speech, music, speech and music) and 2classes (speech, music). Experiments carried out on three types of feature, Mel-cepstrum, energy, zero-crossings, and try to find a best combination between features to speech and music discrimination. We using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for discrimination algorithm and combine different features into a single vector prior to modeling the data with a GMM. In 3classes, the best result is achieved using Mel-cepstrum, energy and zero-crossings in a single feature vector (speech: 95.1%, music: 61.9%, speech & music: 55.5%). In 2classes, the best result is achieved using Mel-cepstrum, energy and Mel-cepstrum, energy, zero-crossings in a single feature vector (speech: 98.9%, music: 100%).

  • In this study, we propose a speech/music discrimination method using spectral peak track analysis. The proposed method uses the spectral peak track's duration at the same frequency channel for feature parameter. And use the duration threshold to discriminate the speech/music. Experiment result, correct discrimination ratio varies according to threshold, but achieved a performance comparable to another method and has a computational efficient for discrimination.

  • In this paper, we propose an improved speech/music discrimination method based on a feature combination and dimensionality reduction approach. To improve discrimination ability, we use a feature based on spectral duration analysis and employ the hierarchical dimensionality reduction (HDR) method to reduce the effect of correlated features. Through various kinds of experiments on speech and music, it is shown that the proposed method showed high discrimination results when compared with conventional methods.

  • In this research, we propose an efficient Speech/Music discrimination method that uses spectrum analysis and neural network. The proposed method extracts the duration feature parameter(MSDF) from a spectral peak track by analyzing the spectrum, and it was used as a feature for Speech/Music discriminator combined with the MFSC. The neural network was used as a Speech/Music discriminator, and we have reformed various experiments to evaluate the proposed method according to the training pattern selection, size and neural network architecture. From the results of Speech/Music discrimination, we found performance improvement and stability according to the training pattern selection and model composition in comparison to previous method. The MSDF and MFSC are used as a feature parameter which is over 50 seconds of training pattern, a discrimination rate of 94.97% for speech and 92.38% for music. Finally, we have achieved performance improvement 1.25% for speech and 1.69% for music compares to the use of MFSC.

  • Discrimination between speech and music is important in many multimedia applications. Previously we proposed a new parameter for speech/music discrimination, the mean of minimum cepstral distances (MMCD), and it outperformed the conventional parameters. One weakness of MMCD is that its performance depends on range of candidate frames to compute the minimum cepstral distance, which requires the optimal selection of the range experimentally. In this paper, to alleviate the problem, we propose a multi-dimensional MMCD parameter which consists of multiple MMCDS with combination of different candidate frame ranges. Experimental results show that the multi-dimensional MMCD parameter yields an error rate reduction of 22.5% compared with the optimally chosen one-dimensional MMCD parameter.

  • In this paper, we propose the spectral transition rate (STR) as a novel feature for speech and music discrimination (SMD). We observed that the spectral peaks of speech signal are gradually changing due to coarticulation effect. However, the sound of musical instruments in general tends to keep the peak frequencies and energies unchanged for relatively long period of time compared to speech. The STR of speech is much higher than that of music. The experimental results show that the STR based SMD method outperforms a conventional method. Especially, the STR based SMD gives relatively fast output without any performance degradation.
