Class WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd

java.lang.Object

be.tarsos.dsp.WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd

All Implemented Interfaces:

AudioProcessor

public class WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd
extends java.lang.Object
implements AudioProcessor

An overlap-add technique based on waveform similarity (WSOLA) for high quality time-scale modification of speech

A concept of waveform similarity for tackling the problem of time-scale modification of speech is proposed. It is worked out in the context of short-time Fourier transform representations. The resulting WSOLA (waveform-similarity-based synchronized overlap-add) algorithm produces high-quality speech output, is algorithmically and computationally efficient and robust, and allows for online processing with arbitrary time-scaling factors that may be specified in a time-varying fashion and can be chosen over a wide continuous range of values.

Inspired by the work soundtouch by Olli Parviainen, http://www.surina.net/soundtouch, especially the TDStrech.cpp file.

Constructor Detail

WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd

public WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd(WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd.Parameters params)

Create a new instance based on algorithm parameters for a certain audio format.

Parameters:

params - The parameters for the algorithm.

Method Detail

setParameters

public void setParameters(WaveformSimilarityBasedOverlapAdd.Parameters params)

setDispatcher

public void setDispatcher(AudioDispatcher newDispatcher)

getInputBufferSize

public int getInputBufferSize()

getOverlap

public int getOverlap()

process

public boolean process(AudioEvent audioEvent)

Description copied from interface: AudioProcessor

Process the audio event. Do the actual signal processing on an (optionally) overlapping buffer.

Specified by:

process in interface AudioProcessor

Parameters:

audioEvent - The audio event that contains audio data.

Returns:

False if the chain needs to stop here, true otherwise. This can be used to implement e.g. a silence detector.

processingFinished

public void processingFinished()

Description copied from interface: AudioProcessor

Notify the AudioProcessor that no more data is available and processing has finished. Can be used to deallocate resources or cleanup.

Specified by:

processingFinished in interface AudioProcessor
