Sound emission analysis

Abstract:

Systems and techniques for sound emission analysis are provided. An audio sample may be detected, including an engine audio sample associated with acoustic information of a motorcycle engine. Signal processing may be performed to isolate the engine audio sample associated with sounds from the motorcycle engine from background noise within the audio sample. The isolated engine audio sample may be analyzed for a characteristic indicative of a fuel level or a speed of the motorcycle. The fuel level or the speed may be estimated or calculated based on the engine audio sample. The isolation, the signal processing, and the estimation or calculation may occur device-side on a mobile device near the motorcycle. Alternatively, the isolation, the signal processing, and the estimation or calculation may occur server-side, and the results may be transmitted back to the mobile device.
