Audio processing device, audio processing method, audio processing program and audio processing integrated circuit

摘要

Provided is an audio processing device comprising: a feature data generation unit which generates, for each unit section of an audio signal, section feature data expressing features of the audio signal in the unit section; a feature variation calculation unit which calculates, for each unit section, a feature variation value quantifying temporal variation of the features in the unit section, by setting the unit section as a target section and using section feature data of unit sections close to the target section; and a section judgment unit which judges, for each unit section, whether the unit section is a feature unit section including a variation point of the features, based on comparison of a threshold value and the feature variation value. Through the above, the audio processing device can detect feature unit sections from an audio signal of an AV content or the like.
