Apparatus and method for classifying music genre

摘要

The music genre classification method may include generating hidden markov models (HMM) corresponding to a plurality of audio files, and clustering the audio files based on similarities between the generated hidden markov models (HMMs). And classifying the music files into music genres, and generating hidden Markov models (HMMs) corresponding to the plurality of audio files, respectively, for each audio file constituting the plurality of audio files. Generating independent signals corresponding to the audio signal by performing independent component analysis (ICA), and selecting at least one independent signal among the independent signals as the main signal based on the energy of the generated independent signals. Extracting an audio characteristic parameter from the main signal, and extracting the extracted audio characteristic. On the basis of the La-meter it includes generating Hidden Markov Model (HMM, Hidden Markov Model) to the audio file.
