Acoustic event classification is of interest for various audio applications. The aim of this paper is to investigate the usage of a number of speech and audio based features in the task of acoustic event classification. Several features that originate from audio signal analysis are compared with features typically used in speech processing such as mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). In addition, the approaches to fuse the information obtained from multichannel recordings of an acoustic event are investigated. Experiments are performed using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) classifier and audio signals recorded using several scattered microphones.
