HFC

standard mode | Spectral category

Inputs

  • spectrum (vector_real) - the input audio spectrum

Outputs

  • hfc (real) - the high-frequency coefficient

Parameters

  • sampleRate (real ∈ (0, ∞], default = 44100) :

    the sampling rate of the audio signal [Hz]

  • type (string ∈ {Masri, Jensen, Brossier}, default = Masri) :

    the type of HFC coefficient to be computed

Description

This algorithm computes the High Frequency Content of a spectrum. It can be computed according to the following techniques:

  • ‘Masri’ (default) which does: sum |X(n)|^2*k,

  • ‘Jensen’ which does: sum |X(n)|*k^2

  • ‘Brossier’ which does: sum |X(n)|*k

Exception is thrown for empty input spectra.
