A two-step system for sound event localization and detection
share
Sound event detection and sound event localization requires different features from audio input signals. While sound event detection mainly relies on time-frequency patterns to distinguish different event classes, sound event localization uses magnitude or phase differences between microphones to estimate source directions. Therefore, we propose a two-step system to do sound event localization and detection. In the first step, we detect the sound events and estimate the directions-of-arrival separately. In the second step, we combine the results of the event detector and direction-of-arrival estimator together. The obtained results show a significant improvement over the baseline solution for sound event localization and detection in DCASE 2019 task 3 challenge. Using the evaluation dataset, the proposed system achieved an F1 score of 93.4 direction-of-arrival estimation, while the winning solution achieved an F1 score of 94.7
