Real Time Microphone and Camera data acquisition and audio-video processing

This Matlab-code is a demo for real-time audio and image processing.

Description

The current Matlab-code can be used for real-time audio and image processing. Fixed-length segments of audio data are recorded from soundcard's input and an image is also captured in each block. In particular, the provided code does the following:
 - Repetively records audio segments of fixed length.
 - Plots the (applitude) values of the current audio segment.
 - Plots the spectogram of the current audio segment.
 - Calculates the mean and std values of the Zero Crossing Rate for each segment, and plots those statistics for the last five segments.
 - Calculates and plots the average spectral distance between the current and the previous audio segment. This is actually a simple measure of change detection in the audio information.
 - Captures and plots an image for each block (frame).
 - Plots an estimation of the motion between the current and the previous frames.
 - Plots the average absolute difference between two successive frames.
 - Calculates and displays the ratio of the processing time (for the feature calculation and the plotting processes) by the real signal data.

Provided M-files:
 - realTimeMic.m This is the main m-file. It reads blocks (of fixed length) of audio information and it captures one image (from an attached camera) per block.
 - zcr.m This function computes the Zero Crossing Rate of an audio signal in a short-term basis (i.e. one value of the ZCR function is calculated per frame).

In order to execute the demo, simply call the realTimeMic function with the following arguments:

 - duration: (in seconds) the duration of each audio segment (and the time interval between two succcesive images taken from cam).

 - nBlocks: number of blocks to be recorded

useVideo: 1 for recording video and 0 otherwise

For example write:

realTimeMic(1.0,100,1);

in the Matlab workspace. This will run the demo for 100 segments of 1.0 second each, and it will use the camera (it has to be attached) for capturing images.

• Required Products: Data Acquisition Toolbox; Image Processing Toolbox; Signal Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b)
• Other requirements: I have tried the demo in Matlab2007b. I have also tried it in Matlab 6.5 and it seems that there are some problems with the acquisition functions (in particular with the audio acquisition): half of the times the getdata() call (line 171) fails.

You probably don't have a web-camera connected to your computer. If this is the case, please run the realTimeMic() function, with the 3rd argument equal to zero (no camera data is used).

i am intrested in the real time audio plote formed in 1,1 subplot of your example can you help me out in giving the code?

[Theodoros Giannakopoulos]

Thank you for your interest. I am not sure I understand what you ask. The audio input is ploted in line 111, and the soundcard is initialized in line 34. The current audio block is read in line 171, using command getdata().
