Detailed Description

OnlineFeatureInterface is an interface for online feature processing (it is also usable in the offline setting, but currently we're not using it for that).

This is for use in the online2/ directory, and it supersedes the interface in ../online/online-feat-input.h. We have a slightly different model that puts more control in the hands of the calling thread, and won't involve waiting on semaphores in the decoding thread.

This interface only specifies how the object *outputs* the features. How it obtains the features, e.g. from a previous object or objects of type OnlineFeatureInterface, is not specified in the interface and you will likely define new constructors or methods in the derived type to do that.

You should appreciate that this interface is designed to allow random access to features, as long as they are ready. That is, the user can call GetFrame for any frame less than NumFramesReady(), and when implementing a child class you must not make assumptions about the order in which the user makes these calls.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~OnlineFeatureInterface()

virtual ~OnlineFeatureInterface ( )
inlinevirtual

Virtual destructor.

Note: constructors that take another member of type OnlineFeatureInterface are not expected to take ownership of that pointer; the caller needs to keep track of that manually.

◆ GetFrames()

virtual void GetFrames ( const std::vector< int32 > &  frames,
MatrixBase< BaseFloat > *  feats 
)
inlinevirtual

This is like GetFrame() but for a collection of frames.

There is a default implementation that just gets the frames one by one, but it may be overridden for efficiency by child classes (since sometimes it's more efficient to do things in a batch).

Reimplemented in OnlineCacheFeature, and OnlineTransform.

◆ IsLastFrame()

virtual bool IsLastFrame ( int32  frame) const
pure virtual

Returns true if this is the last frame.

Frame indices are zero-based, so the first frame is zero. IsLastFrame(-1) will return false, unless the file is empty (which is a case that I'm not sure all the code will handle, so be careful). This function may return false for some frame if we haven't yet decided to terminate decoding, but later true if we decide to terminate decoding. This function exists mainly to correctly handle end effects in feature extraction, and is not a mechanism to determine how many frames are in the decodable object (as it used to be, and for backward compatibility, still is, in the Decodable interface).

Implemented in OnlineAppendFeature, OnlineCacheFeature, OnlineDeltaFeature, OnlineTransform, OnlineSpliceFrames, OnlineProcessPitch, OnlineCmvn, OnlinePitchFeature, OnlineIvectorFeature, OnlineNnet2FeaturePipeline, OnlineMatrixFeature, OnlineFeaturePipeline, and OnlineGenericBaseFeature< C >.
