Abstract:
An extended chirplet transform method termed as Doppler chirplet transform is proposed to estimate the velocity of a discrete tone source in uniform linear motion. This method directly uses the relation of the observed instantaneous frequency to the source velocity as the kernel of the chirplet transform. It is tested on a set of 30-s truck noise recordings and also on simulated data from a statistical perspective. The results show that the Doppler chirplet transform significantly reduces the run time that the polynomial chirplet transform [Xu, Yang, and Yu, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 137(4), EL320-EL326 (2015)] costs to produce similarly accurate estimates of the source velocity.
