| In order to protect privacy at the monitored site the system is designed to classify sounds and then send audio icons, pre-recorded pieces of sound representing activities (e.g. a recording of a baby crying), instead of the actual sound. However, when the classifier’s confidence level is low and speech is detected, the system sends the actual sound but in a garbled way. garble 1 garble 2. In the absence of speech the system simply sends the actual sound. noise 1 noise 2. The system takes classifying decisions based on acoustic evidence and possible location of the source. Remote clients can configure the system to operate in several modes. |
