Show HN: Shazam-like acoustic fingerprinting of continuous audio streams

I meant the spectrogram encoded as a 2d array, but I guess there isn't a big difference when the db query is the most expensive part.

I've always wondered: Is there a way to compare fingerprints with humming sounds or live recordings?

Those fingerprinting techniques don't seem to be suitable for those tasks, do you know of any methods to accomplish this?

You have special fingerprint algorithms that are suited for sound modifications like pitch https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/5754913 but it's not going to work with humming or live audio. I don't know if such a thing exists.

If you want to do some research, here is a short review paper on the topic http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~dross/ChandrasekharSharifiRoss_IS...

As for 2d array spectrogram, it is not needed in my lib (expect when plotting is activated). I only care about maxima in the spectrum of each data window. In other words, 1d spectra are enough.
