Audio event detection

MIVIA audio events

The MIVIA audio events data set is composed of a total of 6000 events, of the types glass breaking, gun shots and screams. It is designed for research in the field of surveillance applications. The 6000 events are divided into a training set (composed of 4200 events) and a test set (composed of 1800 events).

You can download the data set from its page on MIVIA research group website.

MIVIA road events

The MIVIA road audio events data set is composed of a total of 400 events and is designed for road surveillance applications. It contains tire skidding and car crash events, mixed to various background sounds, in order to simulate the occurence of events in different environments.  The events are divided into 4 folds of 100 events each, in order to account for cross-validation experiments.

You can download the data set from its page on MIVIA research group website.
