Isaac, I’d love to hear what you finally did 4 years ago when you raised this question.
#Image to audio converter to view in spectrogram code#
You can flip and rotate it to get the axes in the directions you like and color code it like in audacity with a look up Spectrograms of vectors are such a basic and much used DSP function I wonder if it would be a good addition to ImageJ…what do you think? This is the main functionality that differentiates ImageJ from Matlab…e.g. There is now an ‘array.fourier’ function that can be used on each line of your 1xn image to produce a spectrogram with x = freq(0 to fs/2) and y = time/line. You import a wav as a raw image (skip the header) and import a 1xn little endian image. You do have to watch your numbers though so that t and f are calibrated correctly. It was a small change and it worked great. I modified the 2D fft in ImageJ to only do an fft in one direction, but I did it 10 years ago and have forgotten what I removed from the IJ fft code code. not as easy to read.Hello Isaac and Herbie I’ve been importing signals and making spectrograms of them for years. If your input signal happens to be N samples long, then yes, you should get a single vertical slice that has the same information as a spectrum plot, but the amplitude dimension is mapped to pixel color value (using some arbitrary palette) instead of to the Y axis. (the choice of the windowing function is a tradeoff between resolution and bin leakage.) Converting above image with invoking: spectrofy fft -f512 lena.bmp lena.wav result sound: download. To render the next vertical slice it looks at the next N samples, probably with some overlap factor (to improve time resolution without sacrificing frequency resolution.) additionally, it will be applying some kind of windowing function to eliminate artifacts arising from the truncation at the window boundaries. Spectrofy is a simple image to audio converter. With the default orientation, each vertical slice of the image (one pixel? i dunno) represents the spectrum of a chunk of N samples. They’re not really the same plots, though they show the same information (sort of.)įfmpeg is using some fixed window size that i don’t know, call it N. If you can compile a c/c++ program, i can maybe throw something together, since i happen to be building a frequency scope widget right this very minute.

a shell-only solution could process the pairs from sox, average the amps if there are multiple windows in the signal, and use imagemagick or similar to build a bitmap. for longer samples it performs repeated DFTs. Sox stat -freq is close to what you want, but is hardcoded to use a 4096-point DFT. librosa has a builtin function, but it requires NumPy and getting that set up is maybe a little much for the casual python user. as pointed out, it is an easy thing to code up in any environment with access to FFT and bitmap generation libraries. I’m afraid i can’t think of an accessible, batchable tool to make spectrum plots of signals. that is, taking a single DFT of the entire signal and plotting the bin amplitudes (in two dimensions.) this is a less common use case because it really only makes sense for very small slices of time like single waveforms. What the OP wants is perhaps most clearly described as a spectrum plot. I’m gonna be the nerd that tries to clarify terminology.Īlthough the term is kinda generic, common usage of “spectrogram” is for an image of the spectrum over time - that is, taking periodic snapshots of the spectrum with a sliding analysis window (STFT), and rendering the result as a heatmap or waterfall (in three dimensions.) for i in ~/Music/AKWF/AKWF_stereo/*.wav įfmpeg -i "$i" -lavfi showspectrumpic=s=1980x1040:orientation=horizontal:color=fiery:legend=disabled:scale=lin:mode=separate "$-invert.jpg"

I wrote this little shell script (there’s probably a more clever unix-y way to do this, but I was feeling lazy). Refer to the ffmpeg filters documentation to see what’s possible. Especially “scale=lin” in the first script.

Took quite a bit of trial and error, and you may want to tweak things further.
