Class WhistleDelays

java.lang.Object
  whistleDetector.WhistleDelays

public class WhistleDelays
extends java.lang.Object

Class containing functions to calulate the delay between a detected whistle on one channel and the signal on an adjacent channel.

Existing FFT (spectrgram) data is used during the calculation.

The correlation function is calculated for each time partition along the length of the whistle and these correlations summed to overcome the problem of aliassing.

As the correlations are caculated, the spectrum is band limited in each time partition to only include acoustic energy close to the whistle contour. In this way, it is possible to independently calculate bearings to simultaneously occurring overlapping whistles.

getDelay

public static int getDelay(PamDataBlock fftDataBlock,
                           WhistleShape whistle,
                           int delayChannel)

Calculate the delay.

The whistle knows which channel it was detected on. Tell this functin which channel to calculate the dealy to. If FFT data for that channel does not exist, then return NO_CHANNEL_DATA

Parameters:

fftDataBlock - PamDataBlock of spectrgram data

whistle - Whistle contour from the whistle detector

delayChannel - channel to measure the delay to

Returns:

delay in samples
