ABSTRACT:
A mixed audio separation system (100) which separates a specific audio from among a mixed audio (S100) includes a local frequency information generation unit (105) which obtains pieces of local frequency information (S103) corresponding to local reference waveforms (S102), based on the local reference waveforms (S102) and an analysis waveform which is the waveform of the mixed audio (S100). Each of the local reference waveforms (S102) (i) constitutes a part of a reference waveform for analyzing a predetermined frequency, (ii) has a predetermined temporal/spatial resolution and (iii) includes at least one of an amplification spectrum and a phase spectrum in the predetermined frequency. The system includes: a specific audio's frequency feature value extraction unit (106) which performs pattern matching between a first set which is the pieces of local frequency information and a second set of pieces of frequency information (S103) of a predetermined specific audio, and extracts the first set of the pieces of local frequency information (S103), based on a result of the pattern matching; and an audio signal generation unit which generates a signal of the specific audio, based on the first set of the pieces of local frequency information (S103) extracted by the specific audio's frequency feature value extraction unit.
