Fingerprints are bit strings extracted from a media signal (e.g. an audio or video clip) to identify said media signal. Typically, they are derived from a perceptual property of the signal, for example, the spectral energy distribution of an audio fragment or the luminance distribution of a video image. A method and arrangement for extracting a fingerprint is here disclosed which is robust with respect to shifts of the perceptual property. Such shifts occur, inter alia, when the fingerprint is derived from a logarithmically mapped spectral energy distribution of an audio signal and said audio signal is subjected to speed changes. According to the invention, the fingerprint is not derived from the perceptual property as such, but from its auto-correlation function.

A music retrieval system which take an input melody as the query. In one embodiment, changes or differences in the distribution of energy across the frequency spectrum over time are used to find breakpoints in the input melody in order to separate it into distinct notes. In another embodiment the breakpoints are identified based on changes in pitch over time. A confidence level is preferably associated with each breakpoint and/or note extracted from the input melody. The confidence level is based on one or more of: changes in pitch, absolute values of a spectral energy distribution indicator, relative values of the spectral energy distribution indicator, and the energy level of the input melody. The process of matching the input melody with songs in the music database is based on minimizing a cost computation that takes into account errors in the insertion and deletion of notes, and penalizes these errors in accordance with the confidence levels of the breakpoints and/or notes.

An apparatus calculates a number of spectral envelopes to be derived by a spectral band replication (SBR) encoder, wherein the SBR encoder is adapted to encode an audio signal using a plurality of sample values within a predetermined number of subsequent time portions in an SBR frame extending from an initial time to a final time, the predetermined number of subsequent time portions being arranged in a time sequence given by the audio signal.

The invention relates to a continuous spectrum light source comprising a stabilized voltage power supply, a light source, an optical fiber light source set, an optical fiber coupling lens set, and an output optical fiber. The optical fiber light source set is composed of N light spectrum channels with different wavelength coverage. Each light spectrum channel comprises orderly arranged component of a collimating lens, a band pass filter, a coupling lens, and an optical fiber. Light energies from the light source pass the collimating lens, such that parallel lights are formed; when the parallel lights pass the band pass filter, light energies with wavelengths within a range of (lambda1<(j)>, lambda2<(j)>) enter the optical fiber through the coupling lens. Optical fibers of the N light spectrum channels form an optical fiber bundle. The light energies are coupled into the output optical fiber through the optical fiber coupling lens set. Through the adjustment of light energy distribution in each light spectrum channel of the optical fiber light source set, the balance of the light energies output by the output optical fiber within an entire spectral range can be realized, such that a continuous spectrum light source is composed. Or, according to a spectrum energy distribution requirement, optical coupling efficiency of each spectrum channel of the optical fiber light source set can be adjusted, such that light energies can be arbitrarily distributed according to wavelengths.
