Pitch variation estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for estimating the normalised pitch variation is described. While pitch tracking is a classical problem, in applications where the pitch magnitude is not required but only the change in pitch, all the main problems of pitch tracking can be avoided, such as octave jumps and intricate peak-finding heuristics. The presented approach is efficient, accurate and unbiased. It was developed for use in speech and audio coding for pitch variation compensation, but can also be used as additional information for pitch tracking.

Feature for Musical Pitch Estimation from Simplified Auditory Model
A simplified auditory model has been used for calculating an enhanced summary auto-correlation or ESACF, which can be used as a tool for musical pitch estimation from audio signal. The model itself is not only computationally efficient but its ESACF also shows a good result for single pitch estimation. However, using this ESACF for multiple pitch estimation seems to be very difficult to analyse...
متن کاملA New Pitch Estimation Method Based on AMDF
In this paper, a new modified average magnitude difference function (MAMDF) is proposed which is robust for noise-corrupt speech pitch estimation. The traditional technology in pitch estimation can easily give rise to the problem of detecting error pitch period. And their estimation performance behaves badly with the occurrence of background noise. In the process of calculation on speech sample...
متن کاملStatistical Variation Analysis of Formant and Pitch Frequencies in Anger and Happiness Emotional Sentences in Farsi Language
Setup of an emotion recognition or emotional speech recognition system is directly related to how emotion changes the speech features. In this research, the influence of emotion on the anger and happiness was evaluated and the results were compared with the neutral speech. So the pitch frequency and the first three formant frequencies were used. The experimental results showed that there are lo...
متن کاملPolyphonic Pitch Tracking Using Joint Bayesian Estimation of Multiple Frame Parameters
We present a novel approach to pitch estimation and note detection in polyphonic audio signals. We pose the problem in a Bayesian probabilistic framework, which allows us to incorporate prior knowledge about the nature of musical data into the model. We exploit the high correlation between model parameters in adjacent frames of data by explicitly modelling the frequency variation over time usin...
متن کاملEffects of various parameters on lateral displacement estimation in ultrasound elastography.
Complementary to axial, lateral displacement and strain can provide important information on the biological soft tissues. In this paper, the effects of key parameters (i.e., lateral displacement, pitch, beamwidth, beam overlap and interpolation) on lateral displacement estimation were investigated, in simulations and homogeneous phantom experiments, using lateral rigid motion only to study its ...
