Toward commercial application of audio fingerprinting technology

Audio Fingerprinting is a technology commonly used in query by exact example (QBEE) music service. In order to be commercialized technology, the system performance need to meet the service quality of user experience. The paper describes the short survey of market players in order to address the factors to influence the service quality. The computing performance factors include responsiveness, database size, accuracy, anti-noise, and computing platform. Especially, the computing platforms, which comprised of GPGPU, which are enabled by OpenCL programming and gain much speed, are the advantages for all those factors. Therefore, we also report the initial result of speedup factors of the technology by GPGPU.
