Abstract
Described is an audio classification system for classifying audio signals. In operation, the system extracts salient patches from an intensity spectrogram of an audio signal. Thereafter, multi-scale global average pooling (GAP) features are extracted for all salient patches. The GAP features are clustered, with each cluster becoming a key attribute. A test audio signal can then be mapped onto a histogram of key attributes. Based on the histogram, the test audio signal can then be classified as a sound class, allowing for operation of a device based on the classification of the sound class.
