Max-Gabor analysis and synthesis of spectrograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method that analyzes a two-dimensional magnitude spectrogram S(f, t) into its local constituent spectro-temporal amplitudes A(f, t), frequencies F (f, t), orientations Θ(f, t), and phases φ(f, t). The method operates by performing a twodimensional local Gabor-like analysis of the spectrogram, retaining only the parameters of the 2D-Gabor filter with maximal amplitude response within the local region. We demonstrate the technique over a wide variety of speakers, and show how the spectrograms in each case may be adequately reconstructed using the parameters of the Max-Gabor analysis. Finally, we discuss the nature of the extracted Max-Gabor parameters.

Doppler Ultrasound Spectral Enhancement Using the Gabor Transform - Based Spectral Subtraction
Most of the important clinical indices of blood flow are estimated from the spectrograms of Doppler ultrasound (US) signals. Any noise may degrade the readability of the spectrogram and the precision of the clinical indices, so the spectral enhancement plays an important role in Doppler US signal processing. A new Doppler US spectral enhancement method is proposed in this paper and implemented ...

متن کاملHooking up spectro-temporal filters with auditory-inspired representations for robust automatic speech recognition
Spectro-temporal filtering has been shown to result in features that can help to increase the robustness of automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the past. We replace the spectro-temporal representation used in previous work with spectrograms that incorporate knowledge about the signal processing of the human auditory system and which are derived from Power-Normalized Cepstral Coefficients (PNC...
متن کاملMulticlass Support Vector Machines for Environmental Sounds Classification Using log-Gabor Filters
In this paper we propose a robust environmental sound classification approach, based on spectrograms features driven from log-Gabor filters. This approach includes two methods. In the first methods, the spectrograms are passed through an appropriate logGabor filter banks and the outputs are averaged and underwent an optimal feature selection procedure based on a mutual information criteria. The...
