Abstract

Music Information Retrieval (MIR) area as well as development of speech and environmental information recognition techniques brought various tools intended for recognizing low-level features of acoustic signals based on a set of calculated parameters. In this study, the MIRtoolbox MATLAB tool, designed for music parameter extraction, is used to obtain a vector of parameters to check whether they are suitable for separation of selected types of vehicle-associated noise, i.e.: car, truck and motorcycle. Then, cross-correlation between pairs of parameters is calculated. Parameters for which absolute value of cross-correlation factor is below a selected threshold, are chosen for further analysis. Subsequently, pairs of parameters found in the previous step are analyzed as a graph of low-correlated parameters with the use of the Bron-Kerbosch algorithm. Graph is checked for existence of cliques of parameters linked in all-to-all manner related to their low correlation. The largest clique of low-correlated parameters is then tested for suitability for separation into three vehicle noise classes. Behrens-Fisher statistic is used for this purpose. Results are visualized in the form of 2D and 3D scatter plots.
