You can choose this command after selecting 2 objects with cepstral coefficients (two MFCC's or LFCC's). With this command you perform dynamic time warping.
Algorithm
First we calculate distances between cepstral coefficients:
-
The distance between frame i (from me) and j (from thee) is:
-
wc · d1 + wle · d2 + wr · d3,
-
where wc, wle & wr are user-supplied weights and
-
d1 = ∑ (k=1..nCoefficients; (cik - cjk)2)
-
d2 = (ci0 - cj0)2
-
d3 = ∑ (k=1..nCoefficients; (rik - rjk)2), with
-
rik the regression coefficient of the cepstral coefficients from the frames within a time span of dtr seconds. cij is j-th cepstral coefficient in frame i.
Next we find the optimum path through the distance matrix with a Viterbi-algorithm.
