search_templates: Search acoustic templates on test sound files

Description

search_templates searches acoustic templates on test (re-recorded) sound files.

Usage

search_templates(X, template.rows, test.files, path = NULL, pb = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

X

Object of class 'data.frame', 'selection_table' or 'extended_selection_table' (the last 2 classes are created by the function selection_table from the warbleR package). Must contain the following columns: 1) "sound.files": name of the .wav files, 2) "selec": unique selection identifier (within a sound file), 3) "start": start time and 4) "end": end time of selections. Columns for 'top.freq', 'bottom.freq' and 'channel' are optional. Required.

template.rows

Numeric vector with the index of the rows from 'X' to be used as templates. If only 1 is supplied the same template will be run over all 'test.files'. Otherwise, 'template.rows' must be the same length as 'test.files'. Required.

test.files

Character vector of length 1 with the name(s) of the test (re-recorded) file(s) in which to search for the template(s) (see argument 'template.rows').

path

Character string containing the directory path where test (re-recorded) sound files are found.

pb

Logical argument to control if progress bar is shown. Default is TRUE.

...

Additional arguments to be passed to xcorr for setting cross-correlation parameters (e.g. 'wl', 'ovlp', etc).

Value

A data frame with the time, start, end, test file names, template name, maximum cross-correlation score and the time where it was detected.

Details

The function takes a master sound file's reference data ('X') and finds the position of acoustics templates included as selections in 'X'. This is used to align signals found in re-recorded sound files according to a master sound file referenced in 'X'. Take a look at the package vignette for information on how to:: incorporate this into a sound degradation analysis workflow.
