AudioID
The AudioID is an acoustic fingerprint that enables a quick and clear identification of pieces of music and other audio signals. To identify it, a compact data set (the AudioID) is generated from a piece of music, which is characteristic of this piece like a fingerprint. A short excerpt of the piece of music is then sufficient for recognition, in which its acoustic fingerprint is compared with that of the AudioID database.
The AudioID is the only audio recognition technology that is part of the MPEG-7 standard . This enables a recognized audio file to be linked to metadata immediately .
The AudioID was developed at Fraunhofer IIS and Fraunhofer IDMT. For this work and for the first successful marketing steps, the researchers received the research award of the Fraunhofer Society in 2004 . The license rights to the AudioID were transferred to mufin GmbH - a subsidiary of Magix GmbH & Co. KGaA .
application
The AudioID is used in Magix products such as the MP3 Maker, Digital DJ or mufin player. In addition, the technology for the automated logging of broadcast sound material in radio and television programs, z. B. for the monitoring of airtime agreements and for statistical analysis (chart analysis), or for the automated search for audio material on the Internet that violates copyrights, licensed.
