ABSTRACT:
An automated system and method for classifying audio or audio/video signals as music or non-music is provided. A spectrum module receives at least one digitized audio signal from a source and generates representations of the power distribution of the audio signal with respect to frequency and time. A first moment module calculates, for each time instant, a first moment of the distribution representation with respect to frequency and in turn generates a representation of a time series of first moment values.
A degree of variation module in turn calculates a measure of degree of variation with respect to time of the values of the time series and produces a representation of the first moment time series variation measuring values. Lastly, a module classifies the representation by detecting patterns of low variation, which correspond to the presence of musical content in the original digitized audio signal, and patterns of high variation, which correspond to the absence of musical content in the original digitized audio signal.
