cfamily: Ridge Chaining Procedure

In Rwave: Time-Frequency analysis of 1-D signals

Description

Chains the ridge estimates produced by the function crc.

Usage

cfamily(ccridge, bstep=1, nbchain=100, ptile=0.05)

Arguments

ccridge	unchained ridge set as the output of the function crc
bstep	maximal length for a gap in a ridge.
nbchain	maximal number of chains produced by the function.
ptile	relative threshold for the ridges.

Details

crc returns a measure in time-frequency (or time-scale) space. cfamily turns it into a series of one-dimensional objects (ridges). The measure is first thresholded, with a relative threshold value set to the input parameter ptile. During the chaining procedure, gaps within a given ridge are allowed and filled in. The maximal length of such gaps is the input parameter bstep.

Value

Returns the results of the chaining algorithm

ordered map	image containing the ridges (displayed with different colors)
chain	2D array containing the chained ridges, according to the chain data structure chain[,1]: first point of the ridge chain[,2]: length of the chain chain[,3:(chain[,2]+2)]: values of the ridge
nbchain	number of chains produced by the algorithm
