Hi! I would like to speed up a cross correlation application which looks like this: x has to be cross-correlated with "n" different length y's. I would like to precompute the FFT of the x before making the convolution with all the y's. Thats why I dont want to use the classic convolution and cross correlation functions available in Matlab. (nor the filtering functions). Any suggestions? Thanks! Atmapuri
Fast cross correlation!

Try this (I haven't tested it, so no guarantees about the details): Y= [y1,y2,y3,...,yn]; % All the ys are stored as colomns in a matrix. % If the ys are of different length, append zeros. M=length(Y(:,1)); % Length of columns in matrix Y N= length(x); % Length of data, which is stored as column vector L= max(M,N); % MAke data matrix from x vector X=x*ones(1,length(Y(1,:))); % Compute DFT of columns of X and Y. Zero-pad the shorter sequence % to match the length of the longer one, and correct for wrap-around % effects. The details can be a bit more elegant... XX=fft(X,1,2*L); YY=fft(Y,1,2*L); SXY= XX.*conj(YY); rsy=fftshift(real(ifft(SXY,1))); The one thing that remains is to find the correct time axes. Rune

Hi! Thanks. Would you have any references to why you have to XX=fft(X,1,2*L); double length of FFT with zero padding? Thanks!
