Project Title: Intelligent Spatial Audio: Analysis and Monitoring (ISLA-ALAMO)
Reference: RTI2018-097045-B-C21
Funding Entity: Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities
Participants: Universitat de Valencia
Duration: 2019-2022
Principal Investigator: Dr. Maximo Cobos/ Dr. Francesc J. Ferri
Researchers: 3
Description: Distributed microphone networks combined with machine learning are expected to be key elements for extracting high-level descriptions of the soundscape: identifying, localizing and tracking the relevant sound objects making up a sound scene. The information gathered by such an analysis and monitoring system will in turn make possible the recreation of soundscapes with context-aware interactive and intelligent features
