Video plotting

Here follows a generic description of the classes of the program:

• Particle is the core visual-object class, from which a great number of different classes can be inherited (particles, stars, bubbles, squares…).

• Scene includes an array of particles and manages their update and drawing on screen.

• Stage includes an array of scenes and manages the passage from one scene to another.

Audio Managing

• DSP is a static class containing digital signal processing methods
• AudioManager manages the input stream properties
• AudioProcessor manages the samples buffer and does common calculations (FFT, xcorr,…)
• FeaturesExtractor is a superclass with utilities methods for features extractors
• actual features extractor are inherited from FeaturesExtractor and contain the actual computational methods (ex: Dynamic, Timbre…)
• Audio Decisor calculates the “status” of audio and extract parameters useful for graphic generation
