| Sumario: | Impulsive audio events such as gunshots, explosions or glass shattering, are commonly associated with security threats, thus they are of particular interest for automated acoustic surveillance. Even though impulsive audio events are greatly influenced by their propagation path, little work has been done in multichannel detection, and most precedents available in the literature deal with single-channel detection systems. Unfortunately, the spatial dependence of impulsive sound recordings proves as a problem for robust performance under real conditions. It is possible, however, to take advantage of the spatial diversity provided by a wireless sensor network to counteract this problem. In this paper, we show how an ensemble of spatially diverse detectors can greatly improve the performance of the system. We propose an efficient multichannel detection system of impulsive audio events intended for lowcost Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks. Our proposal is based on a low complexity classification algorithm and an efficient method to include temporal context into the feature vector. The obtained results show that the proposed detection system is capable of achieving a more than adequate performance without incurring large computational loads. |
