Acoustic environments are typically composed of multiple sound sources of different typologies, making them especially complex to model and parameterize. To develop an automatic acoustic environment recognition system, this work proposes a spectro-temporal signal parameterization technique inspired by human perception. The proposed parameters are derived from the analysis of the autocorrelation function of narrow-band signals (NB-ACF) obtained from an auditory gammatone filter bank.
