Research on Recognition and Classification of Folk Music Based on Feature Extraction Algorithm

Abstract

In this study, the feature extraction algorithm for folk music was analyzed. The features of folk music were extracted in aspects of time domain and frequency domain. Then, a support vector machine (SVM) was selected to identify and classify folk music. It was found that the performance of SVM was the best when  was 2⁶ and was 4; the recognition rate of using only one feature was inferior to that of using all features; the highest recognition rate of SVM was 92.76%; compared with back propagation neural network (BPNN) and decision tree classification method, SVM had a higher recognition rate. The experimental results show the effectiveness of SVM, which can be applied in practice.
