Acoustic Scene Classification with Spectrogram Processing Strategies
share
Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved the state-of-the-art performance in acoustic scene classification (ASC) task. The audio data is often transformed into two-dimensional spectrogram representations, which are then fed to the neural networks. In this paper, we study the problem of efficiently taking advantage of different spectrogram representations through discriminative processing strategies. There are two main contributions. The first contribution is exploring the impact of the combination of multiple spectrogram representations at different stages, which provides a meaningful reference for the effective spectrogram fusion. The second contribution is that the processing strategies in multiple frequency bands and multiple temporal frames are proposed to make fully use of a single spectrogram representation. The proposed spectrogram processing strategies can be easily transferred to any network structures. The experiments are carried out on the DCASE 2020 Task1 datasets, and the results show that our method could achieve the accuracy of 81.8 (official baseline: 87.3 of Task1A and Task1B, respectively.
