I programmed a sample accurate spectrogram some time ago and i still have never seen a picture of another one. It's interesting maths, i was told it's trivial, so why has no one else posted research on sample accurate sgrams on the internet? Can you find one. Here is a pic of my version: Zoom in of 1ms of sound in mid frequencies

this is the same program without the zoom and in 2d Mode:

  • $\begingroup$ Oh Thank you Antoine! in Wigner-Ville results i found this kind of spectrogram, which is of the kind of detail resolution i am researching, this is what a sonogram should resemble, and i find these views of sound fascinating: freeware-download.com/screenshots/2/12482-a.jpg $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Indeed, I'm in another area now but this is the kind of problem that got me into signal processing. Have fun :) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ What do you mean by "sample accurate spectrogram"? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I meant a spectrogram of the the same sample resolution as the audio file. input a 1 second sound with 22k samples, output a spectrogram with 22k values on y axis. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @ufomorace Hum then I may have misled you. With a signal with 22k values, you may perfectly have a "22k values" spectrogram. It is not related with accuracy. For instance, you could use a 1-sample step and a 5k-samples length window, your spectrogram would have 22k values on y axis but a very poor temporal resolution (yet an exelent frequency resolution). Do you know about uncertainty principle and time-frequency tradeoff ? $\endgroup$

Producing accurate time-frequency analysis is an area of research. Some pointers are : Wigner-Ville transformation, re-allocation methods, wavelets.

  • $\begingroup$ i found an implementation program here which uses Wigner Ville transformation called sonogram 4 here. christoph-lauer.de/sonogram $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks a lot i have to test FFT implementation with single sample increments because Wigner Ville seems to be not very clear and rather slow. I did a detailed comparison study of a birdcall and here is the result: s29.postimg.org/th7pjz66v/sonogram_study.jpg $\endgroup$
