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

  aubiomfcc source
  aubiomfcc [[-i] source]

            [-T time-format]
            [-v] [-h]

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.

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.

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