SPADE

Sparse Audio Declipper

Keywords: Audio - Sparse regularization - Declipping

Scientific Description: SPADE (the Sparse Audio Declipper) allows to reproduce audio declipping experiments from the papers:

- Srdan Kitic, Nancy Bertin, Remi Gribonval. Audio Declipping by Cosparse Hard Thresholding. iTwist - 2nd international - Traveling Workshop on Interactions between Sparse models and Technology, Aug 2014, Namur, Belgium.

- Srdan Kitic, Nancy Bertin, Remi Gribonval. Sparsity and cosparsity for audio declipping: a flexible non-convex approach. LVA/ICA 2015 - The 12th International Conference on Latent Variable Analysis and Signal Separation, Aug 2015, Liberec, Czech Republic.

Functional Description: SPADE is a declipping algorithm developed by the PANAMA project-team. To the best of our knowledge SPADE achieves state-of-the-art audio declipping quality. Real-time processing of audio streams is possible.

The web site http://spade.inria.fr provides example audio files and allows users to test SPADE on their own files, either by downloading Matlab routines or using Inria’s software demonstration platform, A||go, to test it on the web.

News Of The Year: In 2018, the code has been robustified with the help of InriaTech for a potential industrial transfer. – In 2017, a web interface to demonstrate the potential of SPADE has been setup using the A||go platform.
