Analysis of Helicopter Audio Recordings

Abstract

You can use MATLAB Report Generator for any reporting you need to do in MATLAB. MATLAB Report Generator is especially useful when you need to repeat the same data analysis for mutiple data sets and document the results. To document analysis results for just one data file you could manually create a report (for example, in Microsoft Word) by manually copying and pasting your plots and tables into a document. However, when you need to document analysis results for multiple data sets, copying and pasting manually becomes tedious. That is when MATLAB Report Generator comes to rescue. In this demo we show how MATLAB Report Generator can automate reporting of data analysis results for six helicopter sound recordings. For each of the six sound recordings we want to automatically determine if the recording is clipped and to automatically create a time history plot and a power spectral density plot. We also want to create a summary table automatically with information about how many sound recordings were clipped and which ones they were. Once we create report setup file to document our analysis of six sound recordings, we can easily apply it to document analysis of an arbitrary number of data sets.
