========================
Audio Processing for Bob
========================
This package is part of the signal-processing and machine learning toolbox
Bob_. It contains basic audio processing utilities. Currently, the following cepstral-based features are available:
using rectangular (RFCC), mel-scaled triangular (MFCC) [Davis1980]_, inverted mel-scaled triangular (IMFCC),
and linear triangular (LFCC) filters [Furui1981]_, spectral flux-based features (SSFC) [Scheirer1997]_,
subband centroid frequency (SCFC) [Le2011]_. We are planning to update and add more features in the
near future.
*Please note that the implementation of MFCC and LFCC features has changed compared to an earlier version of the package,
as we corrected pre-emphasis and DCT computations. Delta and delta-delta computations were slightly changed too.*
Installation
------------
Complete Bob's `installation`_ instructions. Then, to install this package,
run::
