Environmental sound database design and implementation

This thesis proposes "An Environmental Sound Database Design and Implementation" for environmental sound recognition. Environmental sound recognition has become a hot topic in recent years. Environmental sound recognition can be used in security systems, in robot navigation, in internet search engines and more. It is necessary to establish a database which comprises the sounds to be recognized in advance to be able to recognize the environmental sounds. Sound database development is the first stage of all environmental sound recognition tasks. In this study, a database based relational database system is designed.. The sound databases designed and used so far are all constructed on the directory and file system of the operating system. For the first time, a sound database system was constructed using relational database and SQL (Structured Query Language) was used. After database design, the example sounds was loaded, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) as a desktop application and a web interface for accessing over internet was designed.
