A Multimedia environment for sound database system, by H. Qi et al.

Abstract:

We propose a new type of sound database system with multi-modal interface for sound data retrieval and modification. Sounds, images and gestures are used as keys for data retrieval. Sound data are characterized in the time-frequency space and 896 feature parameters are stored with original AIFF wave data in the database file. The preference of the individual user is acquired in the repeated data search to make the system adaptative. The user can modify the retrieved sound using the multimedia interface of the system to get the satisfactory sound.
