Comparing Pitch Detection Algorithms for Voice Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article deals mainly with objective comparisons of pitch-detection algorithms (PDAs) in area of speech signals processing. For this purpose evaluation framework was developed using for comparisons reference pitch database. A set of objective criteria was established too. All tested algorithms are also briefly described, new method MNFBC is presented in detail. Results show the biggest bottleneck in voice/unvoiced decision stage for the most of tested algorithms. Optimal time resolution for PDA is discussed too.

A New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
متن کاملVoice activity detection algorithm based on long-term pitch information
A new voice activity detection algorithm based on long-term pitch divergence is presented. The long-term pitch divergence not only decomposes speech signals with a bionic decomposition but also makes full use of long-term information. It is more discriminative comparing with other feature sets, such as long-term spectral divergence. Experimental results show that among six analyzed algorithms, ...
متن کاملSinging Voice Separation from Monaural Recordings
Separating singing voice from music accompaniment has wide applications in areas such as automatic lyrics recognition and alignment, singer identification, and music information retrieval. Compared to the extensive studies of speech separation, singing voice separation has been little explored. We propose a system to separate singing voice from music accompaniment from monaural recordings. The ...
متن کاملPitch Estimation of Singing Voice From Monaural Popular Music Recordings
A singing voice separation system is a hard yet popular task in the field of music information retrieval (MIR). If successfully separated, a number of algorithms can be applied to vocal melody for any possible application. In this study, we applied a pitch estimation algorithm after separating a singing voice from background music based on the implementation of REPET [1]. Then we evaluated our ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Voice Activity Detection Algorithms for Robust Speech Recognition
The emerging applications of speech technology especially in the fields of wireless applications, digital hearing aids or speech recognition are often requiring a noise reduction technique in combination with a precise Voice Activity Detector (VAD). In this paper, we compare the performance of the VAD algorithms like Zero Crossing Detection(ZCD), Weak Fricative Detection (WFD), Pitch Based Dete...
