PBSPLINE Periodized B-spline
Usage: g=pbspline(L,order,a,...);
[g,nlen]=pbspline(L,order,a,...);
Input parameters:
L : Length of window.
order : Order of B-spline.
a : Time-shift parameter for partition of unity.
Output parameters:
g : Fractional B-spline.
nlen : Number of non-zero elements in out.
PBSPLINE(L,order,a) computes a (slightly modified) B-spline of order
order of total length L.
If shifted by the distance a, the returned function will form a
partition of unity. The result is normalized such that the functions sum
to 1/sqrt(a).
PBSPLINE takes the following flags at the end of the input arguments:
'ed' Even discrete fractional spline. This is the default
'xd' 'flat' discrete fractional spline.
'stard' 'pointy' discrete fractional spline
'ec' Even fractional spline by sampling.
'xc' 'flat' fractional spline by sampling.
'starc' 'pointy' fractional spline by sampling.
'wp' Generate whole point centered splines. This is the default.
'hp' Generate half point centered splines.
The different types are accurately described in the referenced paper.
Generally, the 'd' types of splines are very fast to compute, while
the 'c' types are samplings of the continuous splines. The 'e' types
coincides with the regular B-splines for integer orders. The 'x' types
do not coincide, but generate Gabor frames with favorable frame
bounds. The default type is 'ed' to guarantee fast computation and a
familiar shape of the splines.
[out,nlen]=PBSPLINE(...) will additionally compute the number of
non-zero elements in out.
If nlen = L, the function returned will be a periodization of a
B-spline.
If nlen < L, you can choose to remove the additional zeros by calling
g=middlepad(g,nlen).
Additionally, PBSPLINE accepts flags to normalize the output. Please
see the help of NORMALIZE. Default is to use 'peak' normalization.
