acorr(blk, max_lag=None)[source]

Calculate the autocorrelation of a given 1-D block sequence.

Parameters:
  • blk – An iterable with well-defined length. Don’t use this function with Stream objects!
  • max_lag – The size of the result, the lags you’d need. Defaults to len(blk) - 1, since any lag beyond would result in zero.
Returns:

A list with lags from 0 up to max_lag, where its i-th element has the autocorrelation for a lag equals to i. Be careful with negative lags! You should use abs(lag) indexes when working with them.

Examples:
>>> seq = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2]
>>> acorr(seq) # Default max_lag is len(seq) - 1
[59, 52, 42, 30, 17, 8, 2]
>>> acorr(seq, 9) # Zeros at the end
[59, 52, 42, 30, 17, 8, 2, 0, 0, 0]
>>> len(acorr(seq, 3)) # Resulting length is max_lag + 1
4
>>> acorr(seq, 3)
[59, 52, 42, 30]
lag_matrix(blk, max_lag=None)[source]

Finds the lag matrix for a given 1-D block sequence.

Parameters:
  • blk – An iterable with well-defined length. Don’t use this function with Stream objects!
  • max_lag – The size of the result, the lags you’d need. Defaults to len(blk) - 1, the maximum lag that doesn’t create fully zeroed matrices.
Returns:

The covariance matrix as a list of lists. Each cell (i, j) contains the sum of blk[n - i] * blk[n - j] elements for all n that allows such without padding the given block.

dft(blk, freqs, normalize=True)[source]

Complex non-optimized Discrete Fourier Transform

Finds the DFT for values in a given frequency list, in order, over the data block seen as periodic.

Parameters:
  • blk – An iterable with well-defined length. Don’t use this function with Stream objects!
  • freqs – List of frequencies to find the DFT, in rad/sample. FFT implementations like numpy.fft.ftt finds the coefficients for N frequencies equally spaced as line(N, 0, 2 * pi, finish=False) for N frequencies.
  • normalize – If True (default), the coefficient sums are divided by len(blk), and the coefficient for the DC level (frequency equals to zero) is the mean of the block. If False, that coefficient would be the sum of the data in the block.
Returns:

A list of DFT values for each frequency, in the same order that they appear in the freqs input.

Note

This isn’t a FFT implementation, and performs \(O(M . N)\) float pointing operations, with \(M\) and \(N\) equals to the length of the inputs. This function can find the DFT for any specific frequency, with no need for zero padding or finding all frequencies in a linearly spaced band grid with N frequency bins at once.

zcross(seq, hysteresis=0, first_sign=0)[source]

Zero-crossing stream.

Parameters:
  • seq – Any iterable to be used as input for the zero crossing analysis
  • hysteresis – Crossing exactly zero might happen many times too fast due to high frequency oscilations near zero. To avoid this, you can make two threshold limits for the zero crossing detection: hysteresis and -hysteresis. Defaults to zero (0), which means no hysteresis and only one threshold.
  • first_sign – Optional argument with the sign memory from past. Gets the sig from any signed number. Defaults to zero (0), which means “any”, and the first sign will be the first one found in data.
Returns:

A Stream instance that outputs 1 for each crossing detected, 0 otherwise.

clip(sig, low=-1.0, high=1.0)[source]

Clips the signal up to both a lower and a higher limit.

Parameters:
  • sig – The signal to be clipped, be it a Stream instance, a list or any iterable.
  • [low – ...
  • high] – Lower and higher clipping limit, “saturating” the input to them. Defaults to -1.0 and 1.0, respectively. These can be None when needed one-sided clipping. When both limits are set to None, the output will be a Stream that yields exactly the sig input data.
Returns:

Clipped signal as a Stream instance.

unwrap(sig, max_delta=3.141592653589793, step=6.283185307179586)[source]

Parametrized signal unwrapping.

Parameters:
  • sig – An iterable seen as an input signal.
  • max_delta – Maximum value of \(\Delta = sig_i - sig_{i-1}\) to keep output without another minimizing step change. Defaults to \(\pi\).
  • step – The change in order to minimize the delta is an integer multiple of this value. Defaults to \(2 . \pi\).
Returns:

The signal unwrapped as a Stream, minimizing the step difference when any adjacency step in the input signal is higher than max_delta by summing/subtracting step.

amdf(lag, size)[source]

Average Magnitude Difference Function non-linear filter for a given size and a fixed lag.

Parameters:
  • lag – Time lag, in samples. See freq2lag if needs conversion from frequency values.
  • size – Moving average size.
Returns:

A callable that accepts two parameters: a signal sig and the starting memory element zero that behaves like the LinearFilter.__call__ arguments. The output from that callable is a Stream instance, and has no decimation applied.

freq2lag
Frequency (in rad/sample) to lag (in samples) converter.

lazy_analysis.window StrategyDict

This is a StrategyDict instance object called window. Strategies stored: 7.

Strategy window.bartlett. Docstring starts with:

Bartlett (triangular starting with zero) windowing/apodization function (periodic).

Strategy window.blackman. Docstring starts with:

Blackman windowing/apodization function (periodic).

Strategy window.cos. Docstring starts with:

Cosine to the power of alpha windowing/apodization function (periodic).

Strategy window.hamming. Docstring starts with:

Hamming windowing/apodization function (periodic).

Strategy window.hann (Default). An alias for it is window.hanning. Docstring starts with:

Hann windowing/apodization function (periodic).

Strategy window.rect. Aliases available are window.dirichlet, window.rectangular. Docstring starts with:

Dirichlet/rectangular windowing/apodization function.

Strategy window.triangular. An alias for it is window.triangle. Docstring starts with:

Triangular (with no zero end-point) windowing/apodization function (periodic).

Note

This docstring is self-generated, see the StrategyDict class and the strategies docs for more details.

hann(size)

Hann windowing/apodization function (periodic).

For this model, the resulting \(n\)-th sample (where \(n = 0, 1, \cdots, size - 1\)) is:

\[\frac{1}{2} \left[ 1 - \cos \left( \frac{2 \pi n}{size} \right) \right]\]

This window model was taken from:

Harris, F. J. "On the Use of Windows for Harmonic Analysis with the Discrete Fourier Transform". Proceedings of the IEEE, vol. 66, no. 1, January 1978.
Parameters:size – Window size in samples.
Returns:List with the window samples.

Note

Be careful as this isn’t a “symmetric” window implementation by default, you should append the first sample at the end to get a size + 1 symmetric window. The “periodic” window implementation returned by this function is designed for using directly with DFT/STFT. See the F. J. Harris paper for more information on these.

By default, Numpy, Scipy signal subpackage, GNU Octave and MatLab uses the symmetric approach for the window functions, with [1.0] as the result when the size is 1 (which means the window is actually empty). Here the implementation differ expecting that these functions will be mainly used in a DFT/STFT process.

Hint

All window and wsymm strategies have both a periodic and symm attribute with the respective strategy. The StrategyDict instances themselves also have these attributes (with the respective StrategyDict instance). You can get the symmetric strategy wsymm.hann with:

  • window.hann.symm;
  • window.symm.hann (window.symm is wsymm);
  • wsymm.hann.symm (unneeded .symm);
  • wsymm.symm.hann (pleonastically, as wsymm.symm is wsymm).

\[0.54 - 0.46 \cos \left( \frac{2 \pi n}{size} \right)\]

This window model was taken from:

Returns:List with the window samples.

  • window.periodic.cos (pleonastically, as window.periodic is window).

See also

window
StrategyDict instance with periodic windowing/apodization functions.
window.cos
Cosine to the power of alpha windowing/apodization function (periodic).
rect(size)

Dirichlet/rectangular windowing/apodization function.

This window model was taken from:

Harris, F. J. "On the Use of Windows for Harmonic Analysis with the Discrete Fourier Transform". Proceedings of the IEEE, vol. 66, no. 1, January 1978.
Parameters:size – Window size in samples.
Returns:List with the window samples. All values are ones (1.0).

Note

As this strategy is both “symmetric” and “periodic”, window.rect and wsymm.rect are the very same function/strategy.

Hint

All window and wsymm strategies have both a periodic and symm attribute with the respective strategy. The StrategyDict instances themselves also have these attributes (with the respective StrategyDict instance). However, in this case, they’re the same, i.e., window.rect is wsymm.rect.

Overlap-add algorithm using Numpy arrays.

Parameters:
  • blk_sig – An iterable of blocks (sequences), such as the Stream.blocks result.
  • size – Block size for each blk_sig element, in samples.
  • hop – Number of samples for two adjacent blocks (defaults to the size).
  • wnd – Windowing function to be applied to each block or any iterable with exactly size elements. If None (default), applies a rectangular window.
  • normalize – Flag whether the window should be normalized so that the process could happen in the [-1; 1] range, dividing the window by its hop gain. Default is True.
Returns:

A Stream instance with the blocks overlapped and added.

See also

Stream.blocks
Splits the Stream instance into blocks with given size and hop.

Short Time Fourier Transform for complex data.

Note

This docstring is self-generated, see the StrategyDict class and the strategies docs for more details.

cfft(func=None, **kwparams)

Short Time Fourier Transform for complex data.

Same to the default STFT strategy, but with new defaults. This is the same to:

stft.base(transform=numpy.fft.fft, inverse_transform=numpy.fft.ifft)

See stft.base docs for more.

rfft(func=None, **kwparams)

Short Time Fourier Transform block processor / phase vocoder wrapper.

This function can be used in many ways:

  • Directly as a signal processor builder, wrapping a spectrum block/grain processor function;
  • Directly as a decorator to a block processor;
  • Called without the func parameter for a partial evalution style changing the defaults.

See the examples below for more information about these use cases.

The resulting function performs a full block-by-block analysis/synthesis phase vocoder keeping this sequence of actions:

  1. Blockenize the signal with the given size and hop;
  2. Lazily apply the given wnd window to each block;
  3. Perform the 5 actions calling their functions in order:
  1. before: Pre-processing;
  2. transform: A transform like the FFT;
  3. func: the positional parameter with the single block processor;
  4. inverse_transform: inverse FFT;
  5. after: Post-processing.
  1. Overlap-add with the ola overlap-add strategy. The given ola would deal with its own window application and normalization.

Any parameter from steps 3 and 4 can be set to None to skip it from the full process, without changing the other [sub]steps. The parameters defaults are based on the Numpy FFT subpackage.

Parameters:
  • func – The block/grain processor function that receives a transformed block in the frequency domain (the transform output) and should return the processed data (it will be the first inverse_transform input). This parameter shouldn’t appear when this function is used as a decorator.
  • size – Block size for the STFT process, in samples.
  • hop – Duration in samples between two blocks. Defaults to the size value.
  • transform – Function that receives the windowed block (in time domain) and the size as two positional inputs and should return the block (in frequency domain). Defaults to numpy.fft.rfft, which outputs a Numpy 1D array with length equals to size // 2 + 1.
  • inverse_transform – Function that receives the processed block (in frequency domain) and the size as two positional inputs and should return the block (in time domain). Defaults to numpy.fft.irfft.
  • wnd – Window function to be called as wnd(size) or window iterable with length equals to size. The windowing/apodization values are used before taking the FFT of each block. Defaults to None, which means no window should be applied (same behavior of a rectangular window).
  • before – Function to be applied just before taking the transform, after the windowing. Defaults to the numpy.fft.ifftshift, which, together with the after default, puts the time reference at the size // 2 index of the block, centralizing it for the FFT (e.g. blocks [0, 1, 0] and [0, 0, 1, 0] would have zero phase). To disable this realignment, just change both before=None and after=None keywords.
  • after – Function to be applied just after the inverse transform, before calling the overlap-add (as well as before its windowing, if any). Defaults to the numpy.fft.fftshift function, which undo the changes done by the default before pre-processing for block phase alignment. To avoid the default time-domain realignment, set both before=None and after=None keywords.
  • ola – Overlap-add strategy. Uses the overlap_add default strategy when not given. The strategy should allow at least size and hop keyword arguments, besides a first positional argument for the iterable with blocks. If ola=None, the result from using the STFT processor will be the Stream of blocks that would be the overlap-add input.
  • ola_* – Extra keyword parameters for the overlap-add strategy, if any. The extra ola_ prefix is removed when calling it. See the overlap-add strategy docs for more information about the valid parameters.
Returns:

A function with the same parameters above, besides func, which is replaced by the signal input (if func was given). The parameters used when building the function should be seen as defaults that can be changed when calling the resulting function with the respective keyword arguments.

Examples:

Let’s process something:

>>> my_signal = Stream(.1, .3, -.1, -.3, .5, .4, .3)

Wrapping directly the processor function:

>>> processor_w = stft(abs, size=64)
>>> sig = my_signal.copy() # Any iterable
>>> processor_w(sig)
<audiolazy.lazy_stream.Stream object at 0x...>
>>> peek200_w = _.peek(200) # Needs Numpy
>>> type(peek200_w[0]).__name__ # Result is a signal (numpy.float64 data)
'float64'

Keyword parameters in a partial evaluation style (can be reassigned):

>>> stft64 = stft(size=64) # Same to ``stft`` but with other defaults
>>> processor_p = stft64(abs)
>>> sig = my_signal.copy() # Any iterable
>>> processor_p(sig)
<audiolazy.lazy_stream.Stream object at 0x...>
>>> _.peek(200) == peek200_w # This should do the same thing
True

As a decorator, this time with other windowing configuration:

>>> stft64hann = stft64(wnd=window.hann, ola_wnd=window.hann)
>>> @stft64hann # stft(...) can also be used as an anonymous decorator
... def processor_d(blk):
...   return abs(blk)
>>> processor_d(sig) # This leads to a different result
<audiolazy.lazy_stream.Stream object at 0x...>
>>> _.peek(200) == peek200_w
False

You can also use other iterables as input, and keep the parameters to be passed afterwards, as well as change transform calculation:

>>> stft_no_zero_phase = stft(before=None, after=None)
>>> stft_no_wnd = stft_no_zero_phase(ola=overlap_add.list, ola_wnd=None,
...                                  ola_normalize=False)
>>> on_blocks = stft_no_wnd(transform=None, inverse_transform=None)
>>> processor_a = on_blocks(reversed, hop=4) # Reverse
>>> processor_a([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], size=4, hop=2)
<audiolazy.lazy_stream.Stream object at 0x...>
>>> list(_) # From blocks [1, 2, 3, 4] and [3, 4, 5, 0.0]
[4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 6, 4, 3]
>>> processor_a([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], size=4) # Default hop instead
<audiolazy.lazy_stream.Stream object at 0x...>
>>> list(_) # No overlap, blocks [1, 2, 3, 4] and [5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
[4, 3, 2, 1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 5]
>>> processor_a([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) # Size was never given
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
TypeError: Missing 'size' argument

For analysis only, one can set ola=None:

>>> from numpy.fft import ifftshift # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] -> [3, 4, 5, 1, 2]
>>> analyzer = stft(ifftshift, ola=None, size=8, hop=2)
>>> sig = Stream(1, 0, -1, 0) # A pi/2 rad/sample cosine signal
>>> result = analyzer(sig)
>>> result
<audiolazy.lazy_stream.Stream object at 0x...>

Let’s see the result contents. That processing “rotates” the frequencies, converting the original [0, 0, 4, 0, 0] real FFT block to a [4, 0, 0, 0, 0] block, which means the block cosine was moved to a DC-only signal keeping original energy/integral:

>>> result.take()
array([ 0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5,  0.5])
>>> result.take() # From [0, 0, -4, 0, 0] to [-4, 0, 0, 0, 0]
array([-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, -0.5, -0.5, -0.5, -0.5, -0.5])

Note

Parameters should be passed as keyword arguments. The only exception is func for this function and sig for the returned function, which are always the first positional argument, ald also the one that shouldn’t appear when using this function as a decorator.

Hint

  1. When using Numpy FFT, one can keep data in place and return the changed input block to save time;
  2. Actually, there’s nothing in this function that imposes FFT or Numpy besides the default values. One can still use this even for other transforms that have nothing to do with the Fourier Transform.
