librosa.util.dtype_c2r

librosa.util.dtype_c2r(d, *, default=<class 'numpy.float32'>)[source]

Find the real numpy dtype corresponding to a complex dtype.

This is used to maintain numerical precision and memory footprint when constructing real arrays from complex-valued data (e.g. in an inverse Fourier transform).

A complex64 (single-precision) type maps to float32, while a complex128 (double-precision) maps to float64.

Parameters:

dnp.dtype: The complex-valued dtype to convert to real. If d is a real (float) type already, it will be returned.
defaultnp.dtype, optional: The default real target type, if d does not match a known dtype

Returns:

d_rnp.dtype: The real dtype
