AUDFILTERS - Generates filters equidistantly spaced on auditory frequency scales

Program code:

function [g,a,fc,L,info]=audfilters(fs,Ls,varargin)
%AUDFILTERS Generates filters equidistantly spaced on auditory frequency scales
%   Usage:  [g,a,fc,L]=audfilters(fs,Ls);
%           [g,a,fc,L]=audfilters(fs,Ls,...);
%
%   Input parameters:
%      fs    : Sampling rate (in Hz).
%      Ls    : Signal length.
%   Output parameters:
%      g     : Cell array of filters.
%      a     : Downsampling rate for each channel.
%      fc    : Center frequency of each channel.
%      L     : Next admissible length suitable for the generated filters.
%
%   [g,a,fc,L]=AUDFILTERS(fs,Ls) constructs a set of filters g that are
%   equidistantly spaced on a perceptual frequency scale (see FREQTOAUD) between
%   0 and the Nyquist frequency. The filter bandwidths are proportional to the 
%   critical bandwidth of the auditory filters AUDFILTBW. The filters are intended 
%   to work with signals with a sampling rate of fs. The signal length Ls is 
%   mandatory, since we need to avoid too narrow frequency windows.
%
%   By default the ERB scale is chosen but other frequency scales are
%   possible. Currently supported scales are 'erb', 'erb83', 'bark', 'mel'
%   and 'mel1000', and can be changed by passing the associated string as 
%   an optional parameter. See FREQTOAUD for more information on the
%   supported frequency scales.
%
%   By default, a Hann window shape is chosen as prototype frequency 
%   response for all filters. The prototype frequency response can be 
%   changed by passing any of the window types from FIRWIN or FREQWIN 
%   as an optional parameter.
%
%   [g,a,fc,L]=AUDFILTERS(fs,Ls,fmin,fmax) constructs a set of filters 
%   between fmin and fmax. The filters are equidistantly spaced on the 
%   selected frequency scale. One additional filter will be positioned at 
%   the 0 and Nyquist frequencies each, so as to cover the full range of 
%   positive frequencies. 
%   The values of fmin and fmax can be instead specified using a 
%   key/value pair as:
%
%       [g,a,fc,L]=audfilters(fs,Ls,...,'fmin',fmin,'fmax',fmax)
%
%   Default values are fmin=0 and fmax=fs/2. 
%
%   For more details on the construction of the filters, please see the
%   given references.
%
%   Downsampling factors
%   --------------------
%
%   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]=AUDFILTERS(...,'regsampling') constructs a non-uniform
%   filterbank with integer subsampling factors.
%
%   [g,a]=AUDFILTERS(...,'uniform') constructs a uniform filterbank
%   where the integer downsampling rate is the same for all the channels. This
%   results in most redundant representation which produces nice plots.
%
%   [g,a]=AUDFILTERS(...,'fractional') constructs a filterbank with
%   fractional downsampling rates a. 
%   This results in the least redundant system.
%
%   [g,a]=AUDFILTERS(...,'fractionaluniform') constructs a filterbank with
%   fractional downsampling rates a, which are uniform for all filters
%   except the "filling" low-pass and high-pass filters which can have different
%   fractional downsampling rates. This is useful when uniform subsampling
%   and low redundancy at the same time are desirable.
%
%   Additional parameters
%   ---------------------
%
%   AUDFILTERS accepts the following optional parameters:
%
%     'spacing',b        Specify the spacing between the filters, measured in
%                        scale units. Default value is b=1 for the scales
%                        'erb', 'erb83' and 'bark'; the default is b=100 for
%                        'mel' and 'mel1000'.
%
%     'bwmul',bwmul      Bandwidth of the filters relative to the bandwidth
%                        returned by AUDFILTBW. Default value is bwmul=1 for 
%                        the scales 'erb', 'erb83' and 'bark'; the default is 
%                        b=100 for 'mel' and 'mel1000'.
%
%     '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.
% 
%     'redtar',redtar    Target redundancy. The downsampling factors will be
%                        adjusted to achieve a redundancy as close as possible
%                        to 'redtar'.
%
%     'M',M              Specify the total number of filters between fmin and 
%                        fmax. If this parameter is specified, it overwrites the
%                        'spacing' parameter.
%
%     'symmetric'        Create filters that are symmetric around their centre
%                        frequency. This is the default.
%
%     'warped'           Create asymmetric filters that are symmetric on the
%                        auditory scale. 
%
%     'complex'          Construct a filterbank that covers the entire
%                        frequency range instead of just the positive 
%                        frequencies this allows the analysis of complex
%                        valued signals.
%
%     'nosubprec'        Disable subsample window positions.
%
%     'trunc_at'         When using a prototype defined in FREQWIN, a hard 
%                        thresholding of the filters at the specified threshold 
%                        value is performed to reduce their support size. 
%                        The default value is trunc_at=10e-5. When no 
%                        truncation is desired, trunc_at=0 should be chosen.
%                        This value is ignored when a prototype shape from
%                        FIRWIN was chosen.
%
%     'min_win',min_win  Minimum admissible window length (in samples).
%                        Default is 4. This restrict the windows not
%                        to become too narrow when L is low.
%
%   Examples:
%   ---------
%
%   In the first example, we construct a highly redudant uniform
%   filterbank on the ERB scale and visualize the result:
%
%     [f,fs]=greasy;  % Get the test signal
%     [g,a,fc,L]=audfilters(fs,length(f),'uniform','M',100);
%     c=filterbank(f,g,a);
%     plotfilterbank(c,a,fc,fs,90,'audtick');
%
%   In the second example, we construct a non-uniform filterbank with
%   fractional sampling that works for this particular signal length, and
%   test the reconstruction. The plot displays the response of the
%   filterbank to verify that the filters are well-behaved both on a
%   normal and an ERB-scale. The second plot shows frequency responses of
%   filters used for analysis (top) and synthesis (bottom). :
%
%     [f,fs]=greasy;  % Get the test signal
%     L=length(f);
%     [g,a,fc]=audfilters(fs,L,'fractional');
%     c=filterbank(f,{'realdual',g},a);
%     r=2*real(ifilterbank(c,g,a));
%     norm(f-r)
%
%     % Plot the response
%     figure(1);
%     subplot(2,1,1);
%     R=filterbankresponse(g,a,L,fs,'real','plot');
%
%     subplot(2,1,2);
%     semiaudplot(linspace(0,fs/2,L/2+1),R(1:L/2+1));
%     ylabel('Magnitude');
%
%     % Plot frequency responses of individual filters
%     gd=filterbankrealdual(g,a,L);
%     figure(2);
%     subplot(2,1,1);
%     filterbankfreqz(gd,a,L,fs,'plot','linabs','posfreq');
%
%     subplot(2,1,2);
%     filterbankfreqz(g,a,L,fs,'plot','linabs','posfreq');
