What are the features of MFCC?
The MFCC feature extraction technique basically includes windowing the signal, applying the DFT, taking the log of the magnitude, and then warping the frequencies on a Mel scale, followed by applying the inverse DCT. The detailed description of various steps involved in the MFCC feature extraction is explained below.
What are the 39 features of MFCC?
So the 39 MFCC features parameters are 12 Cepstrum coefficients plus the energy term. Then we have 2 more sets corresponding to the delta and the double delta values. Next, we can perform the feature normalization. We normalize the features with its mean and divide it by its variance.
What does MFCC measure?
The mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) of a signal are a small set of features (usually about 10-20) which concisely describe the overall shape of a spectral envelope. In MIR, it is often used to describe timbre.
What is MFCC used for?
MFCCs are commonly used as features in speech recognition systems, such as the systems which can automatically recognize numbers spoken into a telephone. MFCCs are also increasingly finding uses in music information retrieval applications such as genre classification, audio similarity measures, etc.
