Detailed Description

template<typename FloatType>
class dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >

Class for approximating expensive arithmetic operations.

Once initialised, this class can be used just like the function it approximates via operator().

Example:

LookupTableTransform<float> tanhApprox ([] (float x) { return std::tanh (x); }, -5.0f, 5.0f, 64);
auto outValue = tanhApprox (4.2f);

Note: If you try to call the function with an input outside the provided range, it will return either the first or the last recorded LookupTable value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LookupTableTransform() [1/2]

template<typename FloatType>
dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::LookupTableTransform ( )
default

Creates an uninitialised LookupTableTransform object.

You need to call initialise() before using the object. Prefer using the non-default constructor instead.

See also
initialise

◆ LookupTableTransform() [2/2]

template<typename FloatType>
dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::LookupTableTransform ( const std::function< FloatType(FloatType)> &  functionToApproximate,
FloatType  minInputValueToUse,
FloatType  maxInputValueToUse,
size_t  numPoints 
)

Creates and initialises a LookupTableTransform object.

Parameters
functionToApproximateThe function to be approximated. This should be a mapping from a FloatType to FloatType.
minInputValueToUseThe lowest input value used. The approximation will fail for values lower than this.
maxInputValueToUseThe highest input value used. The approximation will fail for values higher than this.
numPointsThe number of pre-calculated values stored.

◆ initialise()

template<typename FloatType>
void dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::initialise ( const std::function< FloatType(FloatType)> &  functionToApproximate,
FloatType  minInputValueToUse,
FloatType  maxInputValueToUse,
size_t  numPoints 
)

Initialises or changes the parameters of a LookupTableTransform object.

Parameters
functionToApproximateThe function to be approximated. This should be a mapping from a FloatType to FloatType.
minInputValueToUseThe lowest input value used. The approximation will fail for values lower than this.
maxInputValueToUseThe highest input value used. The approximation will fail for values higher than this.
numPointsThe number of pre-calculated values stored.

◆ processSampleUnchecked()

template<typename FloatType>
FloatType dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::processSampleUnchecked ( FloatType  value) const
noexcept

Calculates the approximated value for the given input value without range checking.

Use this if you can guarantee that the input value is within the range specified in the constructor or initialise(), otherwise use processSample().

Parameters
valueThe approximation is calculated for this input value.
Returns
The approximated value for the provided input value.
See also
processSample, operator(), operator[]

◆ processSample()

template<typename FloatType>
FloatType dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::processSample ( FloatType  value) const
noexcept

Calculates the approximated value for the given input value with range checking.

This can be called with any input values. Out-of-range input values will be clipped to the specified input range.

If the index is guaranteed to be in range use the faster processSampleUnchecked() instead.

Parameters
valueThe approximation is calculated for this input value.
Returns
The approximated value for the provided input value.

◆ processUnchecked()

template<typename FloatType>
void dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::processUnchecked ( const FloatType *  input,
FloatType *  output,
size_t  numSamples 
) const
noexcept

Processes an array of input values without range checking.

process

◆ process()

template<typename FloatType>
void dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::process ( const FloatType *  input,
FloatType *  output,
size_t  numSamples 
) const
noexcept

Processes an array of input values with range checking.

◆ calculateMaxRelativeError()

template<typename FloatType>
static double dsp::LookupTableTransform< FloatType >::calculateMaxRelativeError ( const std::function< FloatType(FloatType)> &  functionToApproximate,
FloatType  minInputValue,
FloatType  maxInputValue,
size_t  numPoints,
size_t  numTestPoints = 0 
)
static

Calculates the maximum relative error of the approximation for the specified parameter set.

The closer the returned value is to zero the more accurate the approximation is.

This function compares the approximated output of this class to the function it approximates at a range of points and returns the maximum relative error. This can be used to determine if the approximation is suitable for the given problem. The accuracy of the approximation can generally be improved by increasing numPoints.

Parameters
functionToApproximateThe approximated function. This should be a mapping from a FloatType to FloatType.
minInputValueThe lowest input value used.
maxInputValueThe highest input value used.
numPointsThe number of pre-calculated values stored.
numTestPointsThe number of input values used for error calculation. Higher numbers can increase the accuracy of the error calculation. If it's zero then 100 * numPoints will be used.
