Abstract

Audio event detection (AED) is defined as analyzing a continuous acoustic signal in order to extract the sound events present in the acoustic scene. Sound events are best labels for an auditory scene, because they help in describing and understanding a recognizable event present in the sound. In this work, Bird audio detection is carried out to determine whether birds sound is present in the given environmental audio. The system is designed with machine learning algorithm using Tensorflow. The proposed model learns spectrogram features from audio and predicts the presence of bird sounds with an accuracy of 80.76%.
