Overview

About

Maintained by Dave Schruth2 releasesCRAN page ↗

The melody package is a suite of computer vision tools for processing vocal spectrograms. In addition to temporal partitioning, unit filtering, harmonic splitting, and background noise removal functionality, the package provides a collection of methods for assessing the higher order melodic content of vocalization spectrograms. Both unit level (tone and interval) as well as inter-unit measures (syllabic variation and repetition clustering) are also currently available.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/melody/melody_0.4.7.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "melody_0.4.7.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.4.7) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
