Detailed Description

The whistle counter.

It receives the perceptron's output and recognises short, long or multiple whistles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Counter::Counter (  TimeSpecsType   )

Starts the whistle counter.The start situation is "No Whistle" from a long time. Parameters: tspecs  Time specifics used for recognition. Refer to the manual (Chapter 1) for details

Counter::~Counter (   )

Destroys the counter.

Member Function Documentation

float Counter::GetReliability (   )

Returns the last whistle's reliability. Reliability is calculated in the Process() function Returns: The last whistle's reliability

int Counter::Process (  int   )

Processes the current input coming from the perceptron. Parameters: status  Accepted values are: +1: A whistle is beeing blown. -1: No whistles are beeing blown. Returns: The message: NO_WHISTLES if no whistles have been detected SHORT_WHISTLE if a short whistle followed by a valid long interval has been detected LONG_WHISTLE if a long whistle followed by a valid long interval has been detected the multiplicity of the whistle if a multiple whistle followed by a valid long interval has been detected Whenever this function is called, the stack and the current reliability are updated. A Whistle whose length is greater than ShortSteps, but smaller than LongSteps is recognised as the closer one(short or long) with a maximum reliability of 0.8. Whenever an event (Whistle or Noise) is discarded, as its length is smaller than MinWhistleSteps (or MinIntervalSteps), the current reliability il lowered. For the complete algorithm description, refer to the manual(Chapter 1).
