audspecgram(insig,fs,op1,op2, ... ); C=audspecgram(insig,fs, ... );
audspecgram(insig,fs) plots an auditory spectrogram of the signal insig, which has been sampled at a sampling rate of fs Hz. The output is low-pass modulation filtered before presentation.
The frequency axis is diplayed on a erb-scale, but labelled in Hz. Using the mouse to get plot coordinates will reveal the real value in erb's. Use erbtofreq to convert to Hz.
C=audspecgram(insig,fs, ... ) returns the image to be displayed as a matrix. Use this in conjunction with imwrite etc. Do not use this as a method to compute an auditory representation. Use some of the model preprocessing functions for this.
Additional arguments can be supplied like this:
audspecgram(insig,fs,'dynrange',30);
The arguments must be character strings possibly followed by an argument:
'adapt' | Model adaptation. This is the default. This options also sets the output to be displayed on a linear scale. |
'noadapt' | Do not model adaptation. This option also sets a dB scale to display the output. |
'ihc',modelname | Pass modelname to ihcenvelope to determine the inner hair cell envelope extraction process to use. Default is to use the 'dau' model. |
'classic' | Display a classic spectrogram. This option is equal to {'ihc','hilbert', 'noadapt', 'nomf'} |
'mlp',f | Modulation low-pass filter to frequency f. Default is to low-pass filter to 50 Hz. |
'mf',f | Modulation filter with specified center frequency. |
'nomf' | No modulation filtering of any kind. |
'image' | Use imagesc to display the spectrogram. This is the default. |
'clim',clim | Use a colormap ranging from \(clim(1)\) to \(clim(2)\). These values are passed to imagesc. See the help on imagesc. |
'dynrange',r | Limit the displayed dynamic range to r. This option is especially usefull when displaying on a dB scale (no adaptation). |
'fullrange' | Use the full dynamic range. This is the default. |
'ytick' | A vector containing the frequency in Hz of the yticks. |
'thr',r | Keep only the largest fraction r of the coefficients, and set the rest to zero. |
'frange',frange | Choose a frequency scale ranging from \(frange(1)\) to \(frange(2)\), values are entered in Hz. Default is to display from 0 to 8000 Hz. |
'xres',xres | Approximate number of pixels along x-axis / time. |
'yres',yres | Approximate number of pixels along y-axis / frequency If only one of 'xres' and 'yres' is specified, the default aspect ratio will be used. |
'displayratio',r | Set the default aspect ratio. |
'contour' | Do a contour plot to display the spectrogram. |
'surf' | Do a surf plot to display the spectrogram. |
'mesh' | Do a mesh plot to display the spectrogram. |
'colorbar' | Display the colorbar. This is the default. |
'nocolorbar' | Do not display the colorbar. |
The following figure shows a classic spectrogram on an Erb scale of a spoken word:
audspecgram(greasy,16000,'classic','dynrange',50);
The next example shows a Dau-style spectrogram (including adaptation and modulation low-pass filtering) of the same word:
audspecgram(greasy,16000);
