Audio signal processing, segmentation and classification toolkits

Participant : Guillaume Gravier.

Guillaume Gravier is now with the TEXMEX group but this software is being used by several members of the METISS group.

The SPro toolkit provides standard front-end analysis algorithms for speech signal processing. It is systematically used in the METISS group for activities in speech and speaker recognition as well as in audio indexing. The toolkit is developed for Unix environments and is distributed as a free software with a GPL license. It is used by several other French laboratories working in the field of speech processing.

In the framework of our activities on audio indexing and speaker recognition, AudioSeg, a toolkit for the segmentation of audio streams has been developed and is distributed for Unix platforms under the GPL agreement. This toolkit provides generic tools for the segmentation and indexing of audio streams, such as audio activity detection, abrupt change detection, segment clustering, Gaussian mixture modeling and joint segmentation and detection using hidden Markov models. The toolkit relies on the SPro software for feature extraction.
