Programmer Guide/Command Reference/EVAL/map2map

Create a x/y-map with fixed grid (dx and dy is constant) from a x/y-map with varying grid. This function was implemented to display spectrograms with varying hopsize dt and frequency resolution df.

Usage 1

map2map(type, x, nc)

type

this argument must be set to 0; it will be used in future to select the format of the input data and/or the remapping algorithm

x

a NxM matrix containing the input map

nc

a vector with length N; the value nc[i] specifies the number of used columns in the row x[i,*] of the input map

2 <= nc[i] <= M; with: i=0..N-1

Description

Each row i of the input map contains a data vector {x[i,0], .., x[i,nc[i]-1]}. A linear interpolation is used to expand all vectors to the length M.

Example

x contains a spectrogram. The spectra are computed with constant hopsize, but different transformation length. The length of each spectrum x[i,*] is stored in nc[i].

Result 1

A NxM matrix containing the interpolated map y.

Usage 2

map2map(type, x, nc, pr)

type, x, nc

see Usage 1

pr

a vector with length N; the value pr[i] specifies the relative position of the function stored in the row x[i,*] of the input map.

pr[0] < pr[1] < .. < pr[N-1]

Description

First the vectors x[i,*] are expanded as described above. In the second step interpolated rows are inserted to create a map with equidistant rows. The number of rows L of the interpolated map y depends on the range of the pr values and the minimum distance of two neighboring values of pr.

L = (pr[N-1] - pr[0]) / min(pr[i] - pr[i-1])

Example

x contains a spectrogram. The spectra stored in the columns of x are computed with varying hopsize and transformation length. The length of each spectrum x[i,*] is stored in nc[i] and the value pr[i] is set to the center position of the i-th analysis window.

Result 2

A LxM matrix containing the interpolated map y.
