Abstract
Scene analysis is the name given to the strategy by which a computer attempts to put together all the visible properties – edges, surface textures, colours, distances, and so on – that belong to the same object. Only then can the correct global shape and properties of that object be determined. By analogy, auditory scene analysis is the process whereby all the auditory evidence that comes, over time, from a single environmental source is put together as a perceptual unit. This chapter describes the methods that the auditory system employs and some of the research which has discovered them.
