AUBIOMFCC(1)

NAME
aubiomfcc - a command line tool to compute Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients

SYNOPSIS

aubiomfcc source
aubiomfcc [[-i] source]
          [-r rate] [-B win] [-H hop]
          [-T time-format]
          [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

aubiomfcc compute the Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC).

MFCCs are coefficients that make up for the mel-frequency spectrum, a representation of the short-term power spectrum of a sound. By default, 13 coefficients are computed using 40 filters.

When started with an input source (-i/--input), the coefficients are given on the console, prefixed by their timestamps in seconds.

OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (--). A summary of options is included below.

-i, --input source
    Run analysis on this audio file. Most uncompressed and compressed are supported, depending on how aubio was built.

-r, --samplerate rate
    Fetch the input source, resampled at the given sampling rate. The rate should be specified in Hertz as an integer. If 0, the sampling rate of the original source will be used. Defaults to 0.

-B, --bufsize win
    The size of the buffer to analyze, that is the length of the window used for spectral and temporal computations. Defaults to 512.

-H, --hopsize hop
    The number of samples between two consecutive analysis. Defaults to 256.

-T, --timeformat format
    Set time format (samples, ms, seconds). Defaults to seconds.

-h, --help
    Print a short help message and exit.

-v, --verbose
    Be verbose.

REFERENCES

Using the default parameters, the filter coefficients will be computed according to Malcolm Slaney's Auditory Toolbox, available at the following url:
