Acoustic environment leaves its characteristic signature in the audio recording captured in it. The acoustic environment signature can be modeled using acoustic reverberations and background noise. Acoustic reverberation depends on the geometry and composition of the recording location. The proposed scheme uses similarity in the estimated acoustic signature for acoustic environment identification (AEI). We describe a parametric model to realize acoustic reverberation, and a statistical framework based on maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate the model parameters. The density-based clustering is used for automatic AEI using estimated acoustic parameters. Performance of the proposed framework is evaluated for two data sets consisting of hand-clapping and speech recordings made in a diverse set of acoustic environments using three microphones. Impact of the microphone type variation, frequency, and clustering accuracy and efficiency on the performance of the proposed method is investigated. Performance of the proposed method is also compared with the existing state-of-the-art (SoA) for AEI.
