Abstract

Various exemplary aspects are directed to acoustic context recognition apparatuses and methods involving isolating and identifying context(s) of an acoustic environment. In one exemplary embodiment, source audio is converted into audio spectrograms, each spectrogram indicative of a period of time. The series of spectrograms are analyzed to identify audio patterns, over a period of time, which are indicative of an environmental context of the source audio. In many embodiments of the present disclosure, acoustic context recognition also includes comparing the identified audio patterns to known environmental contexts.
