Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Automatic segmentation and classification technique of audio signal is required for audiovisual indexing, and we have been proposed an audio signal segmentation and classification method. This method segments the audio signal into different audio signals at their boundaries, and classifies them into five audio classes, which are silence, speech, music, speech with music, and speech with noise. This paper defines a distance between speech and music class in order to judge that a speech with music class is similar to which speech or music class. The proposed method consists of three steps: (1) audio features, which represent the characteristic of speech, music, and speech with music signal, are extracted; (2) principal component analysis is applied to the extracted audio features; (3) fuzzy c-means clustering is applied to the principal components, and distance can be computed by using membership values, which are obtained from fuzzy clustering. Experimental results performed by applying the proposed method to real audio signal are shown to verify its high performance.
