A Gabor Regression Scheme for Audio Signal Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we describe novel Bayesian models for time-frequency analysis of non-stationary audio waveforms. These models are based on the idea of a Gabor regression, in which a time series is represented as a superposition of time-frequency shifted versions of a simple window function. Prior distributions over the corresponding time-frequency coefficients are constructed in a manner which favours both smoothness of the estimated function and sparseness of the coefficient representation (either indirectly through scale mixtures of normals, or directly through prior probability mass at zero). In this way prior regularisation may induce a parsimonious, meaningful representation of the underlying audio time series. 1. THE DISCRETE-TIME GABOR EXPANSION The discrete-time Gabor expansion of a periodic sequence f ∈ `(Z) having period L is given by f = M−1

Multi-gabor Dictionaries for Audio Time-frequency Analysis
In this paper we consider the construction of multiresolution Gabor dictionaries appropriate for audio signal analysis. Motivated by a desire for parsimony and efficiency, we propose and formalise the idea of reduced multi-Gabor systems, showing that they constitute a frame for L2(R) and other Hilbert spaces of interest. In order to demonstrate the practicality of such a scheme, we apply it to ...
متن کاملTheory, implementation and applications of nonstationary Gabor frames
Signal analysis with classical Gabor frames leads to a fixed time-frequency resolution over the whole time-frequency plane. To overcome the limitations imposed by this rigidity, we propose an extension of Gabor theory that leads to the construction of frames with time-frequency resolution changing over time or frequency. We describe the construction of the resulting nonstationary Gabor frames a...
متن کاملNumerical Performance of Time-Frequency Transforms in Lossy Audio Coding
Time-frequency analysis and the transforms that it gives rise to play an important role in digital signal processing. In lossy audio compression, for instance, it has been found that working in the transform domain leads to methods that achieve a much higher level of signal compression than could be achieved in the temporal domain. This article gives an introduction to time-frequency analysis t...
متن کاملDesign of a High Range, High Efficiency Spread Spectrum Transmitter for Audio Communication Applications
This work proposes a direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter with high transmission range and efficiency for audio signals. It is shown that by choosing high process gain for spread spectrum signal the data could reach a range of 55km in the 2.4GHz ISM band. By employing a light modulation scheme, we have a relaxed SNR requirement for having a low bit error rate (BER) which translates to re...
متن کاملGabor frames and deep scattering networks in audio processing
In this paper a feature extractor based on Gabor frames and Mallat’s scattering transform, called Gabor scattering, is introduced. This feature extractor is applied to a simple signal model for audio signals, i.e. a class of tones consisting of fundamental frequency and its multiples and an according envelope. Within different layers, different invariances to certain signal features occur. In t...
