A method is described for musical instrument recognition in polyphonic audio signals where several sound sources are active at the same time. The proposed method is based on local spectral features and missing-feature techniques. A novel mask estimation algorithmis described that identifies spectral regions that contain reliable information for each sound source, and bounded marginalization is then used to treat the feature vector elements that are determined to be unreliable. The mask estimation technique is based on the assumption that the spectral envelopes of musical sounds tend to be slowly-varying as a function of log-frequency and unreliable spectral components can therefore be detected as positive deviations from an estimated smooth spectral envelope. A computationally efficient algorithm is proposed for marginalizing the mask in the classification process. In simulations, the proposed method clearly outperforms reference methods for mixture signals. The proposed mask estimation technique leads to a recognition accuracy that is approximately half-way between a trivial all-one mask (all features are assumed reliable) and an ideal "oracle" mask.
