audioFlux

A library for audio and music analysis, feature extraction.

Can be used for deep learning, pattern recognition, signal processing, bioinformatics, statistics, finance, etc

Overview

Description

In audio domain, feature extraction is particularly important for Audio Classification, Speech enhancement, Audio/Music Separation,music-information-retrieval(MIR), ASR and other audio task.

In the above tasks, mel spectrogram and mfcc features are commonly used in traditional machine-learning based on statistics and deep-learning based on neural network.

audioFlux provides systematic, comprehensive and multi-dimensional feature extraction and combination, and combines various deep learning network models to conduct research and development learning in different fields.

Functionality

audioFlux is based on the design of data flow. It decouples each algorithm module structurally, and it is convenient, fast and efficient to extract features from large batches.The following are the main feature architecture diagrams, specific and detailed description view the documentation.

The main functions of audioFlux include transform, feature and mir modules.

1. transform

In the time–frequency representation, main transform algorithm:

• BFT   -   Based Fourier Transform, similar short-time Fourier transform.
• NSGT -   Non-Stationary Gabor Transform.
• CWT   -   Continuous Wavelet Transform.
• PWT   -   Pseudo Wavelet Transform.

The above transform supports all the following frequency scale types:

• Linear - Short-time Fourier transform spectrogram.
• Linspace - Linspace-scale spectrogram.
• Mel - Mel-scale spectrogram.
• Bark - Bark-scale spectrogram.
• Erb - Erb-scale spectrogram.
• Octave - Octave-scale spectrogram.
• Log - Logarithmic-scale spectrogram.

The following transform are not supports multiple frequency scale types, only used as independent transform:

• CQT -   Constant-Q Transform.
• VQT -   Variable-Q Transform.
• ST   -   S-Transform/Stockwell Transform.
• FST -   Fast S-Transform.
• DWT -   Discrete Wavelet Transform.
• WPT -   Wave Packet Transform.
• SWT -   Stationary Wavelet Transform.

Detailed transform function, description, and use view the documentation.

The synchrosqueezing or reassignment is a technique for sharpening a time-frequency representation, contains the following algorithms:

• reassign - reassign transform for STFT.
• synsq - reassign data use STFT data.
• wsst - reassign transform for CWT.

2. feature

The feature module contains the following algorithms:

• spectral - Spectrum feature, supports all spectrum types.
• xxcc - Cepstrum coefficients, supports all spectrum types.
• deconv - Deconvolution for spectrum, supports all spectrum types.
• chroma - Chroma feature, only supports CQT spectrum, Linear/Octave spectrum based on BFT.

3. mir

The mir module contains the following algorithms:

• pitch - YIN, STFT, etc algorithm.
• onset - Spectrum flux, novelty, etc algorithm.
• hpss - Median filtering, NMF algorithm.

Installation

The library is cross-platform and currently supports Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android systems.

Python Package Intsall

Using PyPI:

$ pip install audioflux 

Using Anaconda:

$ conda install -c conda-forge audioflux

Building from source:

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

iOS build

To compile iOS on a Mac, Xcode Command Line Tools must exist in the system:

• Install the full Xcode package
• install Xcode Command Line Tools when triggered by a command or run xcode-select command:

$ xcode-select --install 

Enter the audioFlux project scripts directory and switch to the current directory, run the following script to build and compile:

$ ./build_iOS.sh

Build and compile successfully, the project build compilation results are in the build folder

Android build

The current system development environment needs to be installed android NDK, ndk version>=16,after installation, set the environment variable ndk path.

For example, ndk installation path is ~/Android/android-ndk-r16b:

$ export NDK_ROOT=~/Android/android-ndk-r16b
$ export PATH=$NDK_ROOT:$PATH

Android audioFlux build uses fftw library to accelerate performance, compile the single-floating point version for android platform. fftw lib successful compilation, copy to audioFlux project scripts/android/fftw3 directory.

Enter the audioFlux project scripts directory and switch to the current directory, run the following script to build and compile:

$ ./build_android.sh

Build and compile successfully, the project build compilation results are in the build folder
