Management System Architecture for 3D Audio Evaluation Database

Abstract

In this paper we develop a management system architecture for 3D audio evaluation database (DB). Conventional management systems, stores environmental information in the metadata without evaluation results. Thus, users have to learn usage of evaluation algorithm and set up additional environment. In addition, it is ineffient to use and search audio sources because audio soureces are not indexed in general. In order to solve these problems, we propose an automatic management system architecture enabling to automatically evaluate core algorithms using a DB management system (DBMS). Also we define XML metadata scheme for information of saved audio source in the DB. This approach allows improving efficiency of search audio source and use of audio DB. In the experimental section, we show a prototype of our system. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
