Explains sound fingerprinting algorithm, with a practical example of detecting duplicate files on the user's local drive.
The aim of this article is to show an efficient algorithm of signal processing which will allow one to have a competent system of sound fingerprinting and signal recognition. I'll try to come with some explanations of the article's algorithm, and also speak about how it can be implemented using the C# programming language. Additionally, I'll try to cover topics of digital signal processing that are used in the algorithm, thus you'll be able to get a clearer image of the entire system. And as a proof of concept, I'll show you how to develop a simple WPF MVVM application.
