Combining rate and place information for robust pitch extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose an algorithm for the robust extraction of pitch combining both temporal (rate) and pattern matching (place) techniques. Following a transformation into the spectral domain via the application of a Gammatone filter bank the rate information is extracted in each band via the zero crossing distances in that band. Next a comb filter with teeth at the harmonics of the current fundamental frequency hypothesis is set up, reflecting the pattern matching aspect. The signals below the teeth of the comb filter are analyzed upon consistency. This yields an allocation pattern for the filter. The current allocation pattern is compared to prototypical ones allowing the suppression of side peaks at harmonics and sub-harmonics of the true fundamental. A comparison to a state of the art autocorrelation based algorithm is performed showing significantly better results for our algorithm.

A pitch extraction system based on phase locked loops and consensus decision
In this work a very low error rate pitch estimation system is presented, which is also very robust against noise. Two key aspects of the system are mainly responsible of such good behavior: on the one hand we use a multiple estimation scheme based on PLL’s. These devices provide us with robust information about the period of the speech signal harmonics. By combining this information with an add...

In conventional speaker identification methods based on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), phase information is ignored. Our recent studies have shown that phase information contains speaker dependent characteristics. We propose a new extraction method to extract pitch synchronous phase information from the voiced section only. Speaker identification experiments were performed using t...

متن کاملPerfect Tracking of Supercavitating Non-minimum Phase Vehicles Using a New Robust and Adaptive Parameter-optimal Iterative Learning Control
In this manuscript, a new method is proposed to provide a perfect tracking of the supercavitation system based on a new two-state model. The tracking of the pitch rate and angle of attack for fin and cavitator input is of the aim. The pitch rate of the supercavitation with respect to fin angle is found as a non-minimum phase behavior. This effect reduces the speed of command pitch rate. Control...
