nnmnkwii.preprocessing.f0.interp1d(f0, kind='slinear')[source]¶

Coutinuous F0 interpolation from discontinuous F0 trajectory

This function generates continuous f0 from discontinuous f0 trajectory based on scipy.interpolate.interp1d(). This is meant to be used for continuous f0 modeling in statistical speech synthesis (e.g., see [1], [2]).

If kind = 'slinear', then this does same thing as Merlin does.

Parameters

f0 (ndarray) – F0 or log-f0 trajectory
kind (str) – Kind of interpolation that scipy.interpolate.interp1d() supports. Default is 'slinear', which means linear interpolation.

Returns

Interpolated continuous f0 trajectory.

Return type

1d array (T, ) or 2d (T x 1) array

Examples

>>> from nnmnkwii.preprocessing import interp1d
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from nnmnkwii.util import example_audio_file
>>> from scipy.io import wavfile
>>> import pyworld
>>> fs, x = wavfile.read(example_audio_file())
>>> f0, timeaxis = pyworld.dio(x.astype(np.float64), fs, frame_period=5)
>>> continuous_f0 = interp1d(f0, kind="slinear")
>>> assert f0.shape == continuous_f0.shape
