WARPEDFILTERS - Frequency-warped band-limited filters

Program code:

function [g,a,fc,L]=warpedfilters(freqtoscale,scaletofreq,fs,fmin,fmax,bins,Ls,varargin)
%WARPEDFILTERS   Frequency-warped band-limited filters
%   Usage:  [g,a,fc]=warpedfilters(freqtoscale,scaletofreq,fs,fmin,fmax,bins,Ls);
%
%   Input parameters:
%      freqtoscale  : Function converting frequency (Hz) to scale units
%      scaletofreq  : Function converting scale units to frequency (Hz)
%      fs           : Sampling rate (in Hz).
%      fmin         : Minimum frequency (in Hz)
%      fmax         : Maximum frequency (in Hz)
%      bins         : Vector consisting of the number of bins per octave.
%      Ls           : Signal length.
%   Output parameters:
%      g            : Cell array of filters.
%      a            : Downsampling rate for each channel.
%      fc           : Center frequency of each channel (in Hz).
%      L            : Next admissible length suitable for the generated filters.
%
%   [g,a,fc]=WARPEDFILTERS(freqtoscale,scaletofreq,fs,fmin,fmax,bins,Ls)
%   constructs a set of band-limited filters g which cover the required 
%   frequency range fmin-fmax with bins filters per scale unit. The 
%   filters are always centered at full (fractional k/bins) scale units, 
%   where the first filter is selected such that its center is lower than 
%   fmin. 
%
%   By default, a Hann window on the frequency side is choosen, but the
%   window can be changed by passing any of the window types from
%   FIRWIN as an optional parameter.
%   Run getfield(getfield(arg_firwin,'flags'),'wintype') to get a cell
%   array of window types available.
%
%   With respect to the selected scale, all filters have equal bandwidth 
%   and are uniformly spaced on the scale axis, e.g. if freqtoscale is 
%   log(x), then we obtain constant-Q filters with geometric spacing. 
%   The remaining frequency intervals not covered by these filters are 
%   captured one or two additional filters (high-pass always, low-pass if 
%   necessary). The signal length Ls is required in order to obtain the 
%   optimal normalization factors.
%   
%   Attention: When using this function, the user needs to be aware of a 
%   number of things: 
%
%       a)  Although the freqtoscale and scaletofreq can be chosen
%           freely, it is assumed that freqtoscale is an invertible,
%           increasing function from {R} or {R}^+ onto
%           {R} and that freqtoscale is the inverse function.
%       b)  If freqtoscale is from {R}^+ onto {R}, then
%           necessarily freqtoscale(0) = -infty.
%       c)  If the slope of freqtoscale is (locally) too steep, then
%           there is the chance that some filters are effectively 0 or
%           have extremely low bandwidth (1-3 samples), and consequently
%           very poor localization in time. If freqtoscale is from 
%           {R}^+ onto {R} then this usually occurs close
%           to the DC component and can be alleviated by increasing fmin.
%       d)  Since the input parameter bins is supposed to be integer, 
%           freqtoscale and scaletofreq have to be scaled
%           appropriately. Note that freqtoscale(fs) is in some sense
%           proportional to the resulting number of frequency bands and
%           inversely proportional to the filter bandwidths. For example,
%           the ERB scale defined by 21.4log_{10}(1+f/228.8) works
%           nicely out of the box, while the similar mel scale
%           2595log_{10}(1+f/700) most likely has to be rescaled in
%           order not to provide a filter bank with 1000s of channels.
%
%   If any of these guidelines are broken, this function is likely to break
%   or give undesireable results.  
% 
%   By default, a Hann window is chosen as the transfer function prototype, 
%   but the window can be changed by passing any of the window types from
%   FIRWIN as an optional parameter.
%
%   The integer downsampling rates of the channels must all divide the
%   signal length, FILTERBANK will only work for input signal lengths
%   being multiples of the least common multiple of the downsampling rates.
%   See the help of FILTERBANKLENGTH. 
%   The fractional downsampling rates restrict the filterbank to a single
%   length L=Ls.
%
%   [g,a]=WARPEDFILTERS(...,'regsampling') constructs a non-uniform
%   filterbank with integer subsampling factors. 
%
%   [g,a]=WARPEDFILTERS(...,'uniform') constructs a uniform filterbank
%   where the the downsampling rate is the same for all the channels. This
%   results in most redundant representation, which produces nice plots.
%
%   [g,a]=WARPEDFILTERS(...,'fractional') constructs a filterbank with
%   fractional downsampling rates a. This results in the
%   least redundant system.
%
%   [g,a]=WARPEDFILTERS(...,'fractionaluniform') constructs a filterbank
%   with fractional downsampling rates a, which are uniform for all filters
%   except the "filling" low-pass and high-pass filters can have different
%   fractional downsampling rates. This is usefull when uniform subsampling
%   and low redundancy at the same time are desirable.
%
%   The filters are intended to work with signals with a sampling rate of
%   fs.
%
%   WARPEDFILTERS accepts the following optional parameters:
%
%       'bwmul',bwmul 
%                           Bandwidth variation factor. Multiplies the
%                           calculated bandwidth. Default value is 1.
%                           If the value is less than one, the
%                           system may no longer be painless.
%
%       'complex'            
%                           Construct a filterbank that covers the entire
%                           frequency range. When missing, only positive
%                           frequencies are covered.
%
%       'redmul',redmul      
%                           Redundancy multiplier. Increasing the value of
%                           this will make the system more redundant by
%                           lowering the channel downsampling rates. Default
%                           value is 1. If the value is less than one,
%                           the system may no longer be painless.
%
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   In the first example, we use the ERB scale functions freqtoerb and
%   erbtofreq to construct a filter bank and visualize the result:
%
%     [s,fs] = gspi; % Get a test signal
%     Ls = numel(gspi);
%
%     % Fix some parameters
%     fmax = fs/2;
%     bins = 1;
%
%     % Compute filters, using fractional downsampling
%     [g,a,fc]=warpedfilters(@freqtoerb,@erbtofreq,fs,0,fmax,bins,...
%                            Ls,'bwmul',1.5,'real','fractional');
%
%     % Plot the filter transfer functions
%     figure(1); 
%     filterbankfreqz(g,a,Ls,'plot','linabs','posfreq');
%     title('ERBlet filter transfer functions');
%
%     % Compute the frame bounds
%     gf=filterbankresponse(g,a,Ls,'real'); framebound_ratio = max(gf)/min(gf);
%     disp(['Painless system frame bound ratio of ERBlets: ',...
%          num2str(framebound_ratio)]);
%      
%     % Plot the filter bank coefficients of the test signal
%     figure(2);
%     c=filterbank(s,g,a);
%     plotfilterbank(c,a,fc,fs,60);
%     title('ERBlet transform of the test signal');
%
%   In the second example, we look at the same test signal using a 
%   constant-Q filter bank with 4 bins per scale unit and the standard 
%   (semi-regular) sampling scheme:
%
%     [s,fs] = gspi; % Get a test signal
%     Ls = numel(gspi);
%
%     % Fix some parameters
%     fmax = fs/2;
%     bins = 1;
%
%     % Define the frequency-to-scale and scale-to-frequency functions
%     warpfun_log = @(x) 10*log(x);
%     invfun_log = @(x) exp(x/10);
%
%     bins_hi = 4; % Select bins/unit parameter
%     fmin = 50; % The logarithm's derivative 1/x tends to Inf for x towards 0
%
%     % Compute filters, using fractional downsampling
%     [g,a,fc]=warpedfilters(warpfun_log,invfun_log,fs,fmin,fmax,bins_hi,Ls,'bwmul',1,'real');
%
%     % Plot the filter transfer functions
%     figure(1); 
%     filterbankfreqz(g,a,Ls,'plot','linabs','posfreq');
%     title('constant-Q filter transfer functions (4 bins)');
%
%     % Compute the frame bounds
%     gf=filterbankresponse(g,a,Ls,'real'); framebound_ratio = max(gf)/min(gf);
%     disp(['Painless system frame bound ratio (constant-Q - 4 bins): ', num2str(framebound_ratio)]);
%
%     % Plot the filter bank coefficients of the test signal
%     figure(2); 
%     c=filterbank(s,g,a);
%     plotfilterbank(c,a,fc,fs,60);
