Abstract
Techniques for determining information associated with sounds detected in an environment based on audio data are discussed herein. Audio sensors of a vehicle may determine audio data associated with sounds from the environment. Sounds may be caused by objects in the environment such as emergency vehicles, construction zones, non-emergency vehicles, humans, audio speakers, nature, etc. A model may determine a classification of the audio data and/or a probability value representing a likelihood that sound in the audio data is associated with the classification. A direction of arrival may be determined based on receiving classification values from multiple audio sensors of the vehicle, and other actions can be performed or the vehicle can be controlled based on the direction of arrival.
