ABSTRACT
Traditionally, musical instrument recognition ismainly based on frequency domain analysis (sinusoidal analysis,cepstral coefficients) and shape analysis to extract a set ofvarious features. Instruments are usually classified using k-NNclassifiers, HMM, Kohonen SOM and Neural Networks.Recognition of musical instruments in multi-instrumental,polyphonic music is a difficult challenge which is yet far frombeing solved. Successful instrument recognition techniques insolos (monophonic or polyphonic recordings of singleinstruments) can help to deal with this task.We introduce an instrument recognition process in solorecordings of a set of instruments (flute, guitar and harmonium),which yields a high recognition rate. A large solo database isused in order to encompass the different sound possibilities ofeach instrument and evaluate the generalization abilities of theclassification process. The basic characteristics are computed in1sec interval and result shows that the estimation ofspectrogram and autocorrelation reflects more effectively thedifference in musical instruments.
