librosa.feature.zero_crossing_rate¶

librosa.feature.zero_crossing_rate(y, frame_length=2048, hop_length=512, center=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

Compute the zero-crossing rate of an audio time series.

Parameters:

y : np.ndarray [shape=(n,)]: Audio time series
frame_length : int > 0: Length of the frame over which to compute zero crossing rates
hop_length : int > 0: Number of samples to advance for each frame
center : bool: If True, frames are centered by padding the edges of y. This is similar to the padding in librosa.core.stft, but uses edge-value copies instead of reflection.
kwargs : additional keyword arguments: See librosa.core.zero_crossings

Note

By default, the pad parameter is set to False, which differs from the default specified by librosa.core.zero_crossings.

Returns:

zcr : np.ndarray [shape=(1, t)]: zcr[0, i] is the fraction of zero crossings in the i th frame
