Weighted autocorrelation for pitch extraction of noisy speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a modified version of the autocorrelation pitch extraction method well known to be robust against noise. Utilizing that the average magnitude difference function (AMDF) has similar characteristics with the autocorrelation function, the autocorrelation function is weighted by the reciprocal of the AMDF. By simulation experiments, it is shown that the proposed pitch extraction method is useful in noisy environments.

Sub Band Speech Analysis Using Gammatone Filter Banks and Optimal Pitch Extraction Methods for Each Sub Band Using Average Magnitude Difference Function (AMDF) for LPC Speech Coders in Noisy Environments
Modern speech processing applications require operation on signal of interest that is contaminated by high level of noise. These situations call for a greater robustness in estimation of the speech parameters for mismatch environment and low environmental SNR level. In this paper the speech is analyzed with a Gammatone filter bank. This splits the full band speech signal s(n) into frequency ban...
متن کاملNovel Pitch Detection Algorithm With Application to Speech Coding
This thesis introduces a novel method for accurate pitch detection and speech segmentation, named Multi-feature, Autocorrelation (ACR) and Wavelet Technique (MAWT). MAWT uses feature extraction, and ACR applied on Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) residuals, with a wavelet-based refinement step. MAWT opens the way for a unique approach to modeling: although speech is divided into segments, the suc...
متن کاملPitch estimation of noisy speech signals using empirical mode decomposition
This paper presents a pitch estimation method of noisy speech signal using empirical mode decomposition (EMD). The normalized autocorrelation function (NACF) of the noisy speech signal is decomposed into a finite set of band-limited signals termed as intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using EMD. The periodicity of one IMF is supposed to be equal to the accurate pitch period. A conventional autocor...
متن کاملNoise Robust Pitch Tracking by Subband Autocorrelation Classification
Pitch tracking algorithms have a long history in various applications such as speech coding and extracting information, as well as other domains such as bioacoustics and music signal processing. While autocorrelation is a useful technique for detecting periodicity, autocorrelation peaks suffer ambiguity, leading to the classic “octave error” in pitch tracking. Moreover, additive noise can affec...
متن کاملPitch Determination Using the Cepstrum of the One-sided Autocorrelation Sequence
A new cepstral function, the cepstrum of the one-sided autocorrelation sequence, is presented and applied to pitch determination of speech signals. It shows a performance in terms of pitch period errors significantly better than those of the usual cepstrum and autocorrelation with center clipping algorithms for both clean and noisy speech, due to its remarkable accuracy at non-stationary segmen...
