Much interest has recently been received by systems for audio fingerprinting, which enable automatic identification of audio content by extracting unique signatures from the signal. Requirements for such systems include robustness to a wide range of signal distortions and availability of fast search methods, even for large fingerprint databases. This paper describes the provisions of the MPEG-7 standard for audio fingerprinting which allow for interoperability of fingerprint information generated according to the open standardized specification for extraction. In particular, it discusses the ability to generate scalable fingerprints providing different trade-offs between fingerprint compactness, temporal coverage and robustness of recognition, and gives experimental results for various system configurations.
