TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method for recognizing audio samples that locates an audio file that most closely matches the audio sample from a database indexing a large set of original recordings, where each indexed audio file is represented in the database index by a set of landmark timepoints and associated fingerprints.Abstract:
A method for recognizing an audio sample locates an audio file that most closely matches the audio sample from a database indexing a large set of original recordings. Each indexed audio file is represented in the database index by a set of landmark timepoints and associated fingerprints. Landmarks occur at reproducible locations within the file, while fingerprints represent features of the signal at or near the landmark timepoints. To perform recognition, landmarks and fingerprints are computed for the unknown sample and used to retrieve matching fingerprints from the database. For each file containing matching fingerprints, the landmarks are compared with landmarks of the sample at which the same fingerprints were computed. If a large number of corresponding landmarks are linearly related, i.e., if equivalent fingerprints of the sample and retrieved file have the same time evolution, then the file is identified with the sample. The method can be used for any type of sound or music, and is particularly effective for audio signals subject to linear and nonlinear distortion such as background noise, compression artifacts, or transmission dropouts. The sample can be identified in a time proportional to the logarithm of the number of entries in the database; given sufficient computational power, recognition can be performed in nearly real time as the sound is being sampled.read more

Patent
Media source identification
TL;DR: In this paper, a server machine and a first device are configured to access a stream of media (e.g., a broadcast channel) from a media source (i.e., a broadcaster).
Patent
Repetition Detection in Media Data
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for repetition detection in media data is presented. Butler et al. extract media features of many different types from the media data and use them to determine matched sequences of fingerprints, which are then further refined into a set of significant time points.
Patent
Video visual and audio query
TL;DR: In this paper, a video visual and audio query system for quickly identifying video within a large known corpus of videos being played on any screen or display is presented, which can record via a mobile phone camera and microphone a live video clip from the TV and transcode it into a sequence of frame-signatures.
Patent
System and method for increasing transmission bandwidth efficiency ("ebt2")
TL;DR: In this article, a dictionary or database of elemental codewords can be generated from a set of audio clips, where each codeword in the database has an index number or unique identifier.
Patent
Recognizer of content of digital signals
TL;DR: In this paper, an implementation of a technology is described for recognizing the content of digital signals, which determines one or more hash values for the original content of a digital signal, and facilitates identification of the original audio content and other audio content that is substantially perceptually same to the original contents.

Content-based classification, search, and retrieval of audio
TL;DR: The audio analysis, search, and classification engine described here reduces sounds to perceptual and acoustical features, which lets users search or retrieve sounds by any one feature or a combination of them, by specifying previously learned classes based on these features.

Finding similar files in a large file system
TL;DR: Application of sif can be found in file management, information collecting, program reuse, file synchronization, data compression, and maybe even plagiarism detection.

Method and article of manufacture for content-based analysis, storage, retrieval, and segmentation of audio information
TL;DR: In this paper, a system that performs analysis and comparison of audio data files based upon the content of the data files is presented, which produces a set of numeric values (a feature vector) that can be used to classify and rank the similarity between individual audio files typically stored in a multimedia database or on the Web.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Content-based retrieval of music and audio
TL;DR: In this article, a supervised vector quantizer is used to learn audio features from a corpus of simple sounds and musical excerpts, and the similarity measure is based on statistics derived from a supervised quantizer, rather than matching simple pitch or spectral characteristics.

An overview of audio information retrieval
TL;DR: The state of the art in audio information retrieval is reviewed, and recent advances in automatic speech recognition, word spotting, speaker and music identification, and audio similarity are presented with a view towards making audio less “opaque”.
