scd: Soundcape chord diagram

Description

Computes and displays a chord diagram of a set of audio files or of a set segments extracted from a single audio file.

Usage

scd(input, f,  sl, wl = 512, wn = "hanning", ovlp = 0, flim = NULL,
rmoffset = TRUE, threshold = NULL, HCA = TRUE,
grid.col = terrain.colors, names, plot = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Value

The function returns a list of two items:

m

spectral similarity matrix

resHCA

the classification result of the HCA, if HCA is TRUE

Details

The soundscape chord diagram (SCD) aims at representing similarities between audio files or audio segments extracted from a single audio file. The mean frequency spectrum of each file/segment is computed using a STFT. These frequency spectra are then (1) pairwised compared using a similarity distance (see function diffcumspec, and (2) automatically clustered with a hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) (see function HCPC of FactoMiner). The resulting similarity matrix is then given as an input to the function chordDiagram. The width of the sectors and the links are based on the spectral similarity matrix. The color of the sectors and the links follow the HCA classification.
