Hello everyone, I'm a new comer to this mailing list.
I found that the echo_diagnostic.m included in speex-1.2rc1 seems to
have grammar mistakes which cause parse error in octave 3.6.2. I wonder
if anyone have ever executed this code under octave/matlab.
I also made some minor modifications to the file to correct those errors
and publish it here.
If it can helps the project to be more perfect, please consider
accepting the changes.
The modified code:
% Attempts to diagnose AEC problems from recorded samples
%
% out = echo_diagnostic(rec_file, play_file, out_file, tail_length)
%
% Computes the full matrix inversion to cancel echo from the
% recording 'rec_file' using the far end signal 'play_file'
using
% a filter length of 'tail_length'. The output is saved to
'out_file'.
function out = echo_diagnostic(rec_file, play_file, out_file, tail_length)
F=fopen(rec_file,'rb');
rec=fread(F,Inf,'short');
fclose (F);
F=fopen(play_file,'rb');
play=fread(F,Inf,'short');
fclose (F);
rec = [rec; zeros(1024,1)];
play = [play; zeros(1024,1)];
N = length(rec);
corr = real(ifft(fft(rec).*conj(fft(play))));
acorr = real(ifft(fft(play).*conj(fft(play))));
[a,b] = max(corr);
if b > N/2
b = b-N;
end
printf ("Far end to near end delay is %d samples\n", b);
if (b > .3*tail_length)
printf ('This is too much delay, try delaying the far-end signal
a bit\n');
else if (b < 0)
printf ('You have a negative delay, the echo canceller has no
chance to cancel anything!\n');
else
printf ('Delay looks OK.\n');
end
disp(N/2);
N2= round(N/2);
corr1= real(ifft(fft(rec(1:N2)).*conj(fft(play(1:N2)))));
corr2= real(ifft(fft(rec(N2+1:end)).*conj(fft(play(N2+1:end)))));
[a,b1] = max(corr1);
if b1 > N2/2
b1 = b1-N2;
end
[a,b2] = max(corr2);
if b2 > N2/2
b2 = b2-N2;
end
drift = (b1-b2)/N2;
printf ('Drift estimate is %f%% (%d samples)\n', 100*drift, b1-b2);
if abs(b1-b2) < 10
printf ('A drift of a few (+-10) samples is normal.\n');
else
if abs(b1-b2) < 30
printf ('There may be (not sure) excessive clock drift. Is the
capture and playback done on the same soundcard?\n');
else
printf ('Your clock is drifting! No way the AEC will be able to
do anything with that. Most likely, you''re doing capture and playback
from two different cards.\n');
end
end
acorr(1) = .001+1.00001*acorr(1);
AtA = toeplitz(acorr(1:tail_length));
bb = corr(1:tail_length);
h = AtA\bb;
out =rec - filter(h, 1, play);
F=fopen(out_file,'w');
fwrite(F,out,'short');
fclose(F);
end
