Abstract
Due to the uniqueness of the sound mechanism of birds, they have typical non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics. This paper proposed a new acousic feature, HHT-MFCC, combined the HHT transformation and MFCC method, aiming at the dynamic instantaneousness of bird sounds. This method, firstly, uses the ensemble empirical mode decomposition EEMD to decompose the bird sounds into a number of intrinsic modal functions IMFs, and then adopts the Hilbert transform to obtain the Hilbert marginal spectrum of each IMF, at last applies the mel-scale filter to complete the feature extraction of HHT-MFCC. The experiment extracts HHT-MFCC from 9 kinds of cranes in China to cluster. Three indexes of cluster evaluation are used to evaluate the feautre HHT-MFCC and MFCC. The results show that the HHT-MFCC feature is 10% higher in RI index than MFCC, 9% higher in JC index, and 4% higher in FMI index.
