This paper presents an approach aimed at recognizing environmental sounds for surveillance and security applications. We propose a robust environmental sound classification approach, based on spectrograms features derive from logGabor filters. This approach includes three methods. In the first two methods, the spectrograms are passed through an appropriate log-Gabor filter banks and the outputs are averaged and underwent an optimal feature selection procedure based on a mutual information criteria. The third method uses the same steps but applied only to three patches extracted from each spectrogram. To investigate the accuracy of the proposed methods, we conduct experiments using a large database containing 10 environmental sound classes. The classification results based on Multiclass Support Vector Machines show that the second method is the most efficient with an average classification accuracy of 89.62 %.
