Tests on automated audio file search via freesound.org api:
For further use in the automated audio file search of the recognized objects I tested the freesound.org api and programmed the first interface for testing purposes. The first thing I had to do was request an API-Key by freesound.org. After that I noticed an interesting point to think about using it in my project: it is open for 5000 requests per year, but I will research on possibilities for using it more. For the testing 5000 is more than enough.
The current code already searches with a few testing tags and gives possibilities to filter the searches by samplerate, duration, licence and file type. There might be added more filter possibilities next like rating, bit depth, and maybe the possibility of random file selection so it won’t be always the same for each tag.
Next steps would also include to either download the file or just play it automatically. Then there will be tests on using the tags of the AI image recognition code for this automated search. And later in the process I have to figure out the playback of multiple files, volume staging and filtering or EQing methods for masking effects etc…
