Understanding spectrograms
A spectrogram is a time-varying spectral representation that shows how the spectral density of a signal varies with time.
It represents a spectrum of frequencies of the sound or other signal in a visual manner. It is used in various science fields, from sound fingerprinting like voice recognition to radar engineering and seismology.
Usually spectrogram layout is as following: x-axis represents time, y-axis represents frequency, and the third dimension is amplitude of a frequency-time pair, which is color coded. This is three-dimensional data, therefore, we can also create 3D plot where the intensity is represented as height on the z-axis. The problem with 3D charts is that humans are bad at understanding and comparing ...
