Method and system for detecting sound events in a given environment

Abstract : A method and system for detecting abnormal events in a given environment comprises a model construction step comprising: a) a step of unsupervised initialization of Q groups; b) a step of definition of a model of normality consisting of 1-class SVM classifiers; c) a step of optimum distribution of the audio signals in the Q different groups; d) repetition of the steps b and c until a stop criterion C1, is checked and a model M is obtained; and a step of use of the model(s) M obtained from the construction step comprising the analysis of an unknown audio signal ST assigning a score to a 1-class SVM classifier, and a comparison of all the scores fq obtained using decision rules in order to determine the presence or absence of an anomaly in the audio signal analyzed.
