IDCT¶

standard mode | Standard category

Inputs¶

dct (vector_real) - the discrete cosine transform

Outputs¶

idct (vector_real) - the inverse cosine transform of the input array

Parameters¶

dctType (integer ∈ [2, 3], default = 2) :
the DCT type

inputSize (integer ∈ [1, ∞), default = 10) :
the size of the input array

liftering (integer ∈ [0, ∞), default = 0) :
the liftering coefficient. Use ‘0’ to bypass it

outputSize (integer ∈ [1, ∞), default = 10) :
the number of output coefficients

Description¶

This algorithm computes the Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform of an array. It can be configured to perform the inverse DCT-II form, with the 1/sqrt(2) scaling factor for the first coefficient or the inverse DCT-III form based on the HTK implementation.

IDCT can be used to compute smoothed Mel Bands. In order to do this:

compute MFCC

smoothedMelBands = 10^(IDCT(MFCC)/20)

Note: The second step assumes that ‘logType’ = ‘dbamp’ was used to compute MFCCs, otherwise that formula should be changed in order to be consistent.

Note: The ‘inputSize’ parameter is only used as an optimization when the algorithm is configured. The IDCT will automatically adjust to the size of any input.
