Zero Crossing rate

The zero-crossing rate (ZCR) is the rate at which a signal changes from positive to zero to negative or from negative to zero to positive. Its value has been widely used in both speech recognition and music information retrieval, being a key feature to classify percussive sounds. is an indicator function.

How do you calculate zero crossing rate?

The function subtracts the Level value from the signal and then finds the zero crossings. If you do not specify Level , the function uses the default value of 0 and returns the zero-crossing rate. Example: zerocrossrate(x,Level=1) returns the rate at which the input signal x crosses 1 .

What is the meaning of zero-crossing?

A zero-crossing is a point where the sign of a mathematical function changes (e.g. from positive to negative), represented by an intercept of the axis (zero value) in the graph of the function. It is a commonly used term in electronics, mathematics, acoustics, and image processing.

What do you mean by zero-crossing in edge detection?

The zero crossing detector looks for places in the Laplacian of an image where the value of the Laplacian passes through zero --- i.e. points where the Laplacian changes sign.

How do you find the zero crossing rate in Matlab?

rate = zerocrossrate( x ) returns the zero-crossing rate of x . If x is a matrix, then the function analyzes each column as a separate channel and returns the zero-crossing rate as a row vector where each value corresponds to a channel.
