A Computationally Efficient Method for Polyphonic Pitch Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a computationally efficient method for polyphonic pitch estimation. The method employs the Fast Resonator Time-Frequency Image (RTFI) as the basic time-frequency analysis tool. The approach is composed of two main stages. First, a preliminary pitch estimation is obtained by means of a simple peak-picking procedure in the pitch energy spectrum. Such spectrum is calculated from the original RTFI energy spectrum according to harmonic grouping principles. Then the incorrect estimations are removed according to spectral irregularity and knowledge of the harmonic structures of the music notes played on commonly used music instruments. The new approach is compared with a variety of other frame-based polyphonic pitch estimation methods, and results demonstrate the high performance and computational efficiency of the approach.

Multi-pitch estimation for polyphonic musical signals
Automatic Score Transcription goal is to achieve an score-like (notes pitches through time) representation from musical signals. Reliable pitch extraction methods for monophonic signals exist, but polyphonic signals are much more difficult, often ambiguous, to analyze. We propose a computationally efficient technique for automatic recognition of notes from a polyphonic signal. It looks for corr...
متن کاملMultiple Fundamental Frequency Extraction for Mirex
This extended abstract outlines an efficient approach for the extraction of multiple fundamental frequencies (F0) from polyphonic musical audio. The algorithm consists of three analysis steps. At first a multi-resolution spectral analysis is performed on the audio signal. Then, the most salient pitches are identified using a pitch extraction algorithm, which is designed to identify the predomin...
متن کاملSecond Fiddle is Important Too: Pitch Tracking Individual Voices in Polyphonic Music
Recently, there has been much interest in automatic pitch estimation and note tracking of polyphonic music. To date, however, most techniques produce a representation where pitch estimates are not associated with any particular instrument or voice. Therefore, the actual tracks for each instrument are not readily accessible. Access to individual tracks is needed for more complete music transcrip...
متن کاملMelody pitch estimation based on range estimation and candidate extraction using harmonic structure model
This paper proposes an algorithm to estimate the melody pitch line (the most dominant pitch sequence) of a given polyphonic audio based on melody range estimation and pitch candidate extraction using a harmonic structure model similar to that proposed by Goto. This paper defines melody pitch candidate as a list of pitch candidates that produces the best-fit harmonic models to the polyphonic aud...
متن کاملAutomatic Transcription of Melody, Bass Line, and Chords in Polyphonic Music
This article proposes a method for the automatic transcription of the melody, bass line, and chords in polyphonic pop music. The method uses a frame-wise pitch-salience estimator as a feature extraction front-end. For the melody and bass-line transcription, this is followed by acoustic modeling of note events and musicological modeling of note transitions. The acoustic models include a model fo...
