Abstract:
For the deaf and hard-of-hearing to be able to go out safely, it is important to recognize alarm sounds (horns, bicycle bells, ambulance sirens, etc.) among various environmental sounds and to transmit the kinds of sounds to those people, even in noisy environmental sounds. In this paper, we propose and develop an alarm sound classification system using deep neural networks by smartphones that can always be carried when they are going out. Besides, evaluation experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the system using the 5-fold cross-validation method. Furthermore, we evaluate the classification ratio for unlearned data and that adding the date download from the web, and also discuss the limitation of the system to improve the system more useful.
