librosa.feature.tempogram

librosa.feature.tempogram(*, y=None, sr=22050, onset_envelope=None, hop_length=512, win_length=384, center=True, window='hann', norm=inf)

Compute the tempogram: local autocorrelation of the onset strength envelope. 1

Grosche, Peter, Meinard Müller, and Frank Kurth. “Cyclic tempogram - A mid-level tempo representation for music signals.” ICASSP, 2010.

Parameters

ynp.ndarray [shape=(…, n)] or None

Audio time series. Multi-channel is supported.

srnumber > 0 [scalar]

sampling rate of y

onset_envelopenp.ndarray [shape=(…, n) or (…, m, n)] or None

Optional pre-computed onset strength envelope as provided by librosa.onset.onset_strength.

If multi-dimensional, tempograms are computed independently for each band (first dimension).

hop_lengthint > 0

number of audio samples between successive onset measurements

win_lengthint > 0

length of the onset autocorrelation window (in frames/onset measurements) The default settings (384) corresponds to 384 * hop_length / sr ~= 8.9s.

centerbool

If True, onset autocorrelation windows are centered. If False, windows are left-aligned.

windowstring, function, number, tuple, or np.ndarray [shape=(win_length,)]

A window specification as in stft.

norm{np.inf, -np.inf, 0, float > 0, None}

Normalization mode. Set to None to disable normalization.

Returns

tempogramnp.ndarray [shape=(…, win_length, n)]

Localized autocorrelation of the onset strength envelope.

If given multi-band input (onset_envelope.shape==(m,n)) then tempogram[i] is the tempogram of onset_envelope[i].

Raises

ParameterError

if neither y nor onset_envelope are provided

if win_length < 1

>>> # Compute local onset autocorrelation
>>> y, sr = librosa.load(librosa.ex('nutcracker'), duration=30)
>>> hop_length = 512

>>> # Compute global onset autocorrelation
>>> ac_global = librosa.autocorrelate(oenv, max_size=tempogram.shape[0])
>>> ac_global = librosa.util.normalize(ac_global)
