Abstract

A method detects events in an accoustic signal subject to cyclostationary background noise by first segmenting the signal into cycles. Features with a fixed dimension are derived from the cycles, such that the timing of the features is relative to a cycle time. The features are normalized using an estimate of the cyclostationary background noise. Then, after the normalizing, a classifier is applied to the features to detect the events.
