Source information of source localization result
Acoustic feature

Arbitrary Vectors
No files are required.
When to use
This node is used to send the above data to a system external to HARK using TCP/IP communication.
Typical connection
In the example in Figure 6.13, all input terminals are connected. It is also possible to leave input terminals open depending on the transmitted data. To learn about the relation between the connection of the input terminals and transmitted data, see “Details of the node”.

Input
: Matrix<float> type. Acoustic signal (The number of channels $\times $ acoustic signal of window length size STFT in each channel)
: Matrix<complex<float> > type. Frequency spectrum (The number of channels $\times $ spectrum of each channel)
: Vector<ObjectRef> type. Source information on the source localization results of several sound sources
: Map<int, ObjectRef> type. A sound source ID and acoustic signal (Vector<float> type) data pair.
: Map<int, ObjectRef> type. A sound source ID and frequency spectrum (Vector<complex<float> > type) data pair.

: Vector<float> or Vector<complex<float> > type. Arbitrary vectors.
: TimeStamp type. Time stamp in the sent data.
Output
: ObjectRef type. Same output as the input.
Parameter
: string type. IP address of a host to which data is transmitted. It is invalid when SOCKET_ENABLED is set to false.
: int type. Socket number. It is invalid when SOCKET_ENABLED is set to false.
: int type. Shift length of a frame. It must be equal to the value set in previous processing.
: int type. Buffer size secured for socket communication.
: int type. Frequency of socket communication in frame unit.
: string type. Setting for time stamped to sent data. If TIMESTAMP_TYPE=GETTIMEOFDAY, the time taken by gettimeofday is stamped. If TIMESTAMP_TYPE=CONSTANT_INCREMENT, the frame time calculated by SAMPLING_RATE is incremented to the stamped current time.
: int type. Sampling frequency of the input signal. This is valid only when
TIMESTAMP_TYPE=CONSTANT_INCREMENT.
: bool type. ON/OFF of debug to standard output.
: bool type. Data is transferred to the socket when true and not transferred when false.
Description of the parameters
For HOST, designate a host name or an IP address of the host running an external program to transmit data. For PORT, designate a network port number for data transmission. ADVANCE is the shift length of a frame and must be equal to the value set in previous processing. BUFFER_SIZE is a buffer size to be secured for socket communication. A float type array of BUFFER_SIZE * 1024 is secured at the time of initialization. It must be greater than the transmitted data. FRAMES_PER_SEND is the frequency of socket communication in frame unit. The default value is 1 and sufficient for the most cases, which sends data in every frame. If you want to reduce the amount of socket communication, increase this value. TIMESTAMP_TYPE is the setting for time stamped to sent data. SAMPLING_RATE is the sampling frequency of the input signal. DEBUG_PRINT indicates if debug to standard output should be displayed. This outputs some parts of the transmitted data. For more information, see “Debug” in Table 6.17. When SOCKET_ENABLED is set to false, data is not sent to external systems. This is used to perform a network operation check for HARK without operating an external program.

In HarkDataStreamSender , The transmitted data differs depending on whether the input terminal can be opened. On the receiving end, the transmitted data can be interpreted according to their types. Examples are given below. Further details on transmitted data are given in (B-2).
In the case that only the MIC_FFT input terminal is connected, the type is 0000000010 in binary number. Moreover, the transmitted data becomes only a frequency spectrum for each microphone.
In the case that the three input terminals of MIC_WAVE, SRC_INFO and SRC_FEATURE are connected, the type is 0000100101 in binary. The data to be transmitted are acoustic signals for each microphone, source information of a source localization result and acoustic features for each sound source ID.
For the four input terminals of SRC_WAVE, SRC_FFT, SRC_FEATURE and SRC_RELIABILITY, the data to be transmitted are information for each sound source ID and therefore information of SRC_INFO is required. Even if the above four input terminals are connected without connecting SRC_INFO, no data is transmitted. In such a case, the type is 0000000000 in binary.
