A SLIDING MODE CONTROL FOR FOUR-WIRE SHUNT ACTIVE FILTER

Farid Hamoudi – Aziz Chaghi – Mouloud Adli – Hocine Amimeur

   Environment recognition from digital audio for forensics application is a growing area of interest. However, compared to other branches of audio forensics, it is a less researched one. Especially less attention has been given to detect environment from files where foreground speech is present, which is a forensics scenario. In this paper, we perform several experiments focusing on the problems of environment recognition from audio particularly for forensics application. Experimental results show that the task is easier when audio files contain only environmental sound than when they contain both foreground speech and background environment. We propose a full set of MPEG-7 audio features combined with mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) to improve the accuracy. In the experiments, the proposed approach significantly increases the recognition accuracy of environment sound even in the presence of high amount of foreground human speech.

Keywords: sliding mode control, four-wire active filter, harmonics current compensation
