Daily Blog 7

Today I spent the day trying to further decipher the constant Q transform. I looked at Judy Brown's MatLab code for the "brute force" method of calculating the CQT. I tried to translate it into java but the translation proved more difficult than I originally thought so I decided to re-read her paper on an efficient algorithm to calculate the CQT.

I had a little more success with understanding the CQT by re-reading the paper. I think I have a good idea of what the transform does and what variables are used to calculate the transform. Tomorrow I plan on trying to get a working program to calculate the spectral kernel for the transform. After calculating the spectral kernel, the CQT is found through a simple multiplication.
