We present an efficient method for robustly calculating time-frequency attributes of a signal, including instantaneous mean frequency, bandwidth, and kurtosis. Most current approaches involve a costly intermediate step of computing a (highly oversampled) 2-d bilinear time-frequency representation (TFR), which is then collapsed to the I-d attribute. Using the principles of hybrid linearhilinear ...

The Modal distribution is a time-frequency distribution specifically designed to model the quasi-harmonic, multi-sinusoidal, nature of music signals and belongs to the Cohen general class of time-frequency distributions. A streaming, object-oriented implementation of the Modal distribution is presented which forms the basis for designing other members of the Cohen class. Implementation of this ...

We study signal processing tasks in which the is mapped via some generalized time-frequency transform to a higher dimensional space, processed there, and synthesized an output signal. show how approximate such methods using quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) approach. consider cases where representation redundant, having feature axes addition time frequency axes. The proposed QMC method allows sampling bo...
