Abstract

Provided is a sound event recognition method that may improve a sound event recognition performance using a correlation between difference sound signal feature parameters based on a neural network, in detail, that may extract a sound signal feature parameter from a sound signal including a sound event, and recognize the sound event included in the sound signal by applying a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained using the sound signal feature parameter.
