NAME

       mlib_SignalMelCepstral_F32 - perform cepstral analysis in mel frequency scale

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lmlib [ library... ]
       #include <mlib.h>

       mlib_status mlib_SignalMelCepstral_F32(mlib_f32 *cepst, const mlib_f32 *signal, void *state);

DESCRIPTION

       The mlib_SignalMelCepstral_F32() function performs cepstral analysis in mel frequency scale.

       The  first  two steps of mel scale cepstral analysis is the same as in general cepstral anaysis. After the logarithm of the spectrum magni-
       tude is obtained, it is converted into mel frequency scale before the inverse Fourier transform.

		  |  Linear   |        |  Inverse  |
       ... ------>|    to     |------->|  Fourier  |----->
	    X'(k) | Mel Scale | X''(m) | Transform | c(n)
		  +-----------+        +-----------+

       where X'(k) is defined in linear frequency scale and X''(m) is defined in mel frequency scale.

       The mel frequency scale is defined as following.

       freq_mel = melmul * LOG10(1 + freq_linear / meldiv)

       where freq_mel is the frequency in mel scale, freq_linear is the frequency in linear scale, melmul is the multiplying factor, muldiv is the
       dividing factor.

       Optionally,  a  bank of band pass filters in linear frequency scale can be used below the bank of band pass filters in mel frequency scale,
       as shown below in linear frequency scale.

       0   f1  f2  f3	 fp  fp+1 fp+2	fp+3  fp+q
       |---|---|---| ... |---|----|-----| ... | ... -> freq

       where fp = melbgn, fp+q = melend, p = nlinear, q = nmel; the filters number 1 to p are defined in linear frequency scale which  have  equal
       bandwidth  in  linear  frequency  scale; the filters number p+1 to p+q are defined in mel frequency scale which have equal bandwidth in mel
       frequency scale and increasing bandwidth in linear frequency scale.
