SpectralContrast¶

standard mode | Spectral category

Inputs¶

spectrum (vector_real) - the audio spectrum

Outputs¶

spectralContrast (vector_real) - the spectral contrast coefficients

spectralValley (vector_real) - the magnitudes of the valleys

Parameters¶

frameSize (integer ∈ [2, ∞), default = 2048) :
the size of the fft frames

highFrequencyBound (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 11000) :
the upper bound of the highest band

lowFrequencyBound (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 20) :
the lower bound of the lowest band

neighbourRatio (real ∈ (0, 1], default = 0.4) :
the ratio of the bins in the sub band used to calculate the peak and valley

numberBands (integer ∈ (0, ∞), default = 6) :
the number of bands in the filter

sampleRate (real ∈ (0, ∞), default = 22050) :
the sampling rate of the audio signal

staticDistribution (real ∈ [0, 1], default = 0.15) :
the ratio of the bins to distribute equally

Description¶

This algorithm computes the Spectral Contrast feature of a spectrum. It is based on the Octave Based Spectral Contrast feature as described in [1]. The version implemented here is a modified version to improve discriminative power and robustness. The modifications are described in [2].
