Abstract
Description of various types of multimedia content, including audio tracks, is the main objective of MPEG-7 standard, which is being currently developed. Automatic extraction of features (descriptors) is indispensable to fully exploit this standard. In this paper, we revue and compare main techniques used for automatic classification of musical instrument sounds. These techniques usually require selection of singular sounds as a preprocessing; therefore, segmentation techniques for audio data are also necessary.
