Abstract

Systems and methods for real-time traffic detection are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises capturing ambient sounds as an audio sample in a user device, and segmenting the audio sample into a plurality of audio frames. Further, the method comprises identifying periodic frames amongst the plurality of audio frames. Spectral features of the identified periodic frames are extracted, and horn sounds are identified based on the spectral features. The identified horn sounds are then used for real-time traffic detection.
