Toward High-Quality Real-Time Signal Reconstruction From STFT Magnitude

An efficient algorithm for real-time signal reconstruction from the magnitude of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is introduced. The proposed approach combines the strengths of two previously published algorithms: the real-time phase gradient heap integration and the Gnann and Spiertz's real-time iterative spectrogram inversion with look-ahead. An extensive comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms in a reproducible manner is presented.
