The Research Advance of Auditory Scene Analysis

The advance and the direction of research in auditory scene analysis (ASA), including psychological auditory scene analysis and computational auditory scene analysis (CASA), are reviewed. The psychological ASA uncovers the human auditory mental and intellectual perceptual procedure and principles of detection and separation of multi acoustic stream. The goal of CASA is to simulate the processing mechanism of human auditory system using computers that could extract desired information from noisy environment, aiming at creating a machine with auditory intelligence.
