A Real-Time Smartphone App for Unsupervised Noise Classification in Realistic Audio Environments

This paper presents a real-time unsupervised noise classifier smartphone app which is designed to operate in realistic audio environments. This app addresses the two limitations of a previously developed smartphone app for unsupervised noise classification. A voice activity detection is added to separate the presence of speech frames from noise frames and thus to lower misclassifications when operating in realistic audio environments. In...
