dfreq: Dominant frequency of a time wave

Description

This function gives the dominant frequency (i. e. the frequency of highest amplitude) of a time wave.

Usage

dfreq(wave, f, wl = 512, wn = "hanning", ovlp = 0, fftw=  FALSE, at = NULL, threshold
= NULL, bandpass = NULL, clip = NULL, 
plot = TRUE, xlab = "Times (s)", ylab = "Frequency (kHz)",
ylim = c(0, f/2000), ...)

Value

• When plot is FALSE, dfreq returns a two-column matrix, the first column corresponding to time in seconds (x-axis) and the second column corresponding to to dominant frequency in kHz (y-axis). NA corresponds to pause sections in wave (see threshold).

Examples

data(tico)
f <- 22050
# default
dfreq(tico,f)
# using the amplitude threshold and changing the graphical output
dfreq(tico, f, ovlp=50,threshold=5, type="l", col=2)
# using 'at' argument for specific positions along the time axis
dfreq(tico, f, at=c(0.25, 0.75, 1.2, 1.6))
dfreq(tico, f, at=seq(0.5, 1.4, by=0.005), threshold=5)
# a specific number of measures on a single note
dfreq(tico, f, at=seq(0.5, 0.9, len=100), threshold=5, xlim=c(0.5,0.9))
# overlap on spectrogram
# and use of 'clip' argument to better track the dominant frequency
# in noisy conditions
op <- par()
ticon <- tico@left/max(tico@left) + noisew(d=length(tico@left)/f, f)
spectro(ticon, f)
res <- dfreq(tico, f, clip=0.2, plot=FALSE)
points(res, col=2, pch =13)
