Common Sounds in Bedrooms (CSIBE) Corpora

<p>These audio corpora can be used for domestic sound event recognition. The current sound events in the datasets: baby cry, bell, cat meow, cicada, dog bark, fart, guitar, laugh, parrot, piano, speech, traffic, vacuum cleaner and the background sounds. This latter class&nbsp;can model the&nbsp;ambient sounds which are probably&nbsp;not important for a robot or their short audition is not sufficient for a human without visual cue: door, drawer, keys, knock, pen, chair, cup, keyboard, breathing, throat, cough, microwave, steps and zip.</p> <p>Currently, there are two parts:</p> <p>-&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;CSIBE-RAW:</strong>&nbsp;Human&nbsp;speech&nbsp;and&nbsp;other&nbsp;events&nbsp;were&nbsp;collected&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;internet&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;dataset,&nbsp;complemented&nbsp;with&nbsp;new&nbsp; recordings.The&nbsp;samples&nbsp;had&nbsp;excellent&nbsp;and&nbsp;clear&nbsp;sound&nbsp;quality,&nbsp;they&nbsp;were&nbsp;stored&nbsp;in&nbsp;mono&nbsp;WAV&nbsp;format&nbsp;with&nbsp;16&nbsp;bit&nbsp;depth, 44.1&nbsp;kHz&nbsp;sampling&nbsp;rate.&nbsp;All&nbsp;files&nbsp;were&nbsp;labeled&nbsp;according&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;sound&nbsp;event&nbsp;type.</p> <p>- <strong>CSIBE-AIBO:&nbsp;</strong>CSIBE-RAW was recorded again with a robot. The original sounds were played back on a high-quality speaker and the result was recorded with the stereo microphones of a Sony ERS-7 robot in a silent room. Four configurations were used&nbsp;relative to the robot:</p> <p>1. Reverberant room, speaker was 1 meter away, 30⁰ counterclockwise to the head.<br> 2. Non-reverberant room, speaker was 1 meter away, 30⁰ counterclockwise to the head.<br> 3. Reverberant room, speaker was 3 meters away, 1 meter high, 180⁰ clockwise to the head.<br> 4. Non-reverberant room, speaker was 3 meters away, 1 meter high, 180⁰ clockwise to the head.</p> <p>These conditions were varied to get such sound recordings which contains dynamics of the robot microphones, different reverberant conditions and&nbsp;various positions of the sound sources.</p> <p>All licenses of the original sounds&nbsp;are included in the dataset.</p>
