Abstract
This paper presents a new transient detection algorithm which uses the average absolute
discrete group delay as a measure for the transient characteristic of sound. It shows
that a bell-shaped window function performs a high-pass effect to the spectral
coefficients, leading to a concentration of group delay values in the π area
for steady-state signals. This concentration is violated if a transient
occurs. From this phenomenon, we derive a new transient detection method, improve
it by a maximum order-filter, and show that it works well on percussive and tonal-
percussive sounds.
