tifresi: Time Frequency Spectrogram Inversion

'tifresi' to be pronounced 'tifreeezy' provide a simple implementation of TF and spectrogam suitable for inversion, i.e. with a high quality phase recovery. The phase recovery algorithm used is PGHI (phase gradient heap integration).

Installation

This repository use the ltfatpy packages that requires a few libraries to be installed. The package relies on some libraries that have to be installed beforehands. To avoid any issue, please perform these steps in order and use a virtual environnement (pipenv, virtualenv or conda).

1. Install fftw3, lapack and cmake
   • On debian based unix system:

   sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev liblapack-dev cmake
   

   • On MacOS X using homebrew:

   brew install fftw lapack cmake
   

   • On MacOS X using port:

   sudo port install fftw-3 fftw-3-single lapack cmake
   

2. Install cython (required for installing ltfatpy):

   pip install cython
   

3. Install the package from pypi

   pip install tifresi
   

   or from source

   git clone https://github.com/andimarafioti/tifresi
   cd tifresi
   pip install .
   

Starting

After installation of the requirements, you can check the following notebooks:

• demo.ipynb illustrates how to construct a spectrogram and invert it.
• demo-mel.ipynb illustrates how to compute a mel spectrogram with the setting used in this repository.
