Sound event detector system

Sound event detector

SED (Sound Event Detector) is a solution that uses a proprietary algorithm driven by machine learning technology to detect, classify and subsequently alert on unwanted acoustic events. These events can be a gunshot, a scream, or high urban noise levels.

The SED has exceptional accuracy that provides the confidence to address threats quickly and avoid wasting resources on false alarms. In addition, this solution enables sound detection to operate on devices with low-power, low-cost processors.

SED save the average response time of rescue services from 7 minutes to less than 5 seconds. Helps to safe more lives.

Every second matters

Step 0: Adaptation

The SED analyzes the common background sounds from the environment in which it is located and adapts.

Step 1: Detection

The SED detects an unwanted sound event that is atypical in the environment.

Step 2: Extraction

The SED processes the input audio signal and extracts the audio features used to train the classifier.

Step 3: Classification

The SED triggers an alarm if the event is evaluated as undesirable.

Step 4: Result

The SED triggers an alarm if the event is evaluated as undesirable.

Step 5: Notification

The SED informs the user about the event, and help can be on the way immediately.

Immediate response saves lives.

The average processing time of a human reaction when evaluating a dangerous situation is around 7 minutes. The SED processing time is 2 seconds. This time can be crucial.

Software solution

SED’s SW solution is powered by state-of-the-art machine learning techniques with optimized deep neural network architectures running on low-power MCUs in real-time.

The software has been developed with an emphasis on speed and efficiency and allows third parties to easily adapt it to their embedded (low power) hardware platforms. The solution comes with a very intuitive user application, and both products can be customized to suit your needs.

It’s not a problem if you don’t want integration into your product; we also have our own devices ready for immediate order!
