A Highly Robust Audio Monitoring System for Radio Broadcasting

Proposing a novel approach for monitoringsongs for the radio broadcasting channels is veryimportant for the interest of singers, writers andmusicians in the musical industry. Singers, writers andmusicians have a claim to intellectual property rightsfor their songs broadcast over all the radio channels.According to this intellectual property rights actsingers, writers and musicians should be paid for theirsongs broadcast over all the radio channels. Therefore wepropose a real time audio monitoring approach to solvethis problem which includes our own audio recognitionalgorithm. It is easy to recognize a song, when you providethe original high quality blueprint of the song as input. Butwe can’t expect such kind of audio input from radiochannels since lots of transformations are possible beforereaching the end user or listener. For example, addingenvironmental effects such as noise, adding commercialson the song as watermarks, playing more than one songas a chain without adding any silence between them,playing a part of the song, playing same song in variousspeeds and so on. These transformations cause change inthe uniqueness of particular song and make the problemeven more difficult. The algorithm we proposing is resistantto noise and distortion as well as it is capable of recognizingshort segment of song when broadcasting over the radiochannels. At the end of the processing our system generatesa descriptive report including title of the song, singer of thesong, writer of the song, composer of the song, number oftimes it was played and when it was played for all songs fora particular period for all radio broadcasting channels. Weevaluate our system against various types of real timescenarios and achieved overall higher level of accuracy(96%) at the end

Audio Music Monitoring: Analyzing Current Techniques for Song Recognition and Identification

when people are attaching or interesting in something, usually they are trying to interact with it frequently. Music is attached to people since the day of they were born. When music repository grows, people faced lots of challenges such as finding a song quickly, categorizing, organizing and even listening again when they want etc. Because of this, people tend to find electronic solutions. To index music, most of the researchers use content based information retrieval mechanism since content based classification doesn’t need any additional information rather than audio features embedded to it. As well as it is the most suitable way to search music, when user don’t know the meta data attached to it, like author of the song. The most valuable application of this audio recognition is copyright infringement detection. Throughout this survey we will present approaches which were proposed by various researchers to detect, recognize music using content base mechanisms. And finally we will conclude this by analyzing the current status of this era
