Abstract
An apparatus and a method for recognizing animal species from an animal voice. Parameters of a animal voice are extracted and compared with a plurality of known animal voice parameters. If a match is found, animal species data corresponding to the known animal is displayed.
Claims9
An apparatus for recognizing animal species from an animal voice, comprising;
- a voice signal collection device for receiving the animal voice and outputting a voice signal;
- a feature extraction module for extracting a target parameter from the voice signal;
- at least one storage device for storing a plurality of sample parameter vectors extracted from a plurality of known animal voices and species data corresponding to the sample parameter vectors;
- a comparison module for comparing the target parameter vector with the sample parameter vectors to find a matching sample parameter vector similar to the target parameter vector;
- and
- at least one output device for displaying the species data corresponding to the matching sample parameter vector.

A method for recognizing animal species from an animal voice, the method comprising:
- converting an animal voice into a target signal;
- extracting a target parameter vector from the target signal;
- comparing the target parameter vector with a plurality of sample parameter vectors stored in a parameter database to obtain a matching sample parameter vector which is similar to the target parameter vector;
- and
- outputting species data corresponding to the matching sample parameter vector stored in the parameter database if the matching sample parameter vector is found.
