iulaw

Functions

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

iulaw [ option ] [ infile ]

  • -v double

    • absolute maximum value of input \((0 < V)\)

  • -u double

    • compression factor \((0 < \mu)\)

  • infile str

    • double-type compressed data sequence

  • stdout

    • double-type output data sequence

In the below example, 8-bit compressed and quantized data read from data.ulaw is transformed into raw waveform.

dequantize data.ulaw | iulaw > data.raw
Parameters:

  • argc – [in] Number of arguments.

  • argv – [in] Argument vector.

Returns:

0 on success, 1 on failure.

ulaw ialaw

class MuLawExpansion

Nonlinearly decompress data based on \(\mu\)-law algorithm.

Given the input data \(y(n)\), the expansion is performed as follows:

\[ x(n) = V \, \mathrm{sgn}(y(n)) \frac{(1 + \mu)^{|y(n)|/V} - 1}{\mu} \]
where \(V\) is the absolute maximum value of the input data and \(\mu\) is the compression factor, which is typically set to 255.
