Library for Acoustic Signal Processing

Welcome to LASP: Library for Acoustic Signal Processing. LASP is a C library - currently still under heavy development - with a Python interface which is supposed to process (multi-) microphone acoustic data in real time and output results.

The main goal of this library will be the processing of data from an array of microphones real time, on a Raspberry PI. At the point in time of this writing, we are yet unsure whether the Raspberry PI will have enough computational power to this end, but may be by the time it is finished, we have a new faster generation :).

Current features that are implemented:

• Compile-time determination of the floating-point accuracy (32/64 bit)
• Fast convolution FIR filter implementation
• Decimation of the sample rate by an integer factor of 4.
• Octave filterbank FIR filters designed to be compliant to IEC 61260 (1995).

Some of the near future features:

• Third octave filter bank
• Slow and fast time updates of (A/C/Z) weighted sound pressure levels
• Conventional and delay-and-sum beamforming algorithms

For now, the source code is well-documented but it requires some additional documentation (the math behind it). This will be published in a sister repository in a later stage.
