LPCTorch 0.1.4

LPC Utility for Pytorch Library.

LPC Utility for Pytorch Library.

LPC Torch

LPCTorch is a small pytorch utility for Linear Predictive Coding. It provides a simple way to compute windowed Linear Predictive Coding Coefficients on a input audio signal. The repo uses the Burg's methods [1] and is heavily inspired from the librosa audio library implementation [2].

Install

Install the module using the pip utility ( may require to run as sudo )

pip3 install lpctorch

Usage

LPC Coefficients

from lpctorch import LPCCoefficients

# Parameters
#     * sr            : sample rate of the signal ( 16 kHz )
#     * frame_duration: duration of the window in seconds ( 16 ms )
#     * frame_overlap : frame overlapping factor
#     * K             : number of linear predictive coding coefficients
sr             = 16000
frame_duration = .016
frame_overlap  = .5
K              = 32

# Initialize the module given all the parameters
lpc_prep       = LPCCoefficients(
    sr,
    frame_duration,
    frame_overlap,
    order = ( K - 1 )
)

# Get the coefficients given a signal
# torch.Tensor of size ( Batch, Samples )
alphas         = lpc_prep( X )

Example

The repository provides an example application with a 'sample.wav' file. The output is the same as the one provided by librosa (bottom).

Benchmarks

Here are some benchmarks comparing cpu vs gpu inference times in seconds of the utility from 1 to 32 batch size.
