Consistent pitch marking
نویسنده
چکیده
The pitch-marking algorithm presented in this paper avoids inconsistency errors between pitch markers in subsequent fundamental periods by adding the requirements of waveform and pitch consistency. The approach is as follows. Candidate pitch markers satisfying user-defined properties for pitch marking are selected first. Dynamic programming is then used to find the sequence of candidate pitch markers which optimally satisfies the waveformand pitchconsistency requirements. The algorithm is described in detail and results are presented.

Phonetics vs. phonology in Tamil wh-questions
Wh-questions in Tamil are not distinguished from declarative utterances by either pitch accent type or boundary tone. Acoustic analysis of data from 18 speakers comparing whquestions with corresponding declaratives revealed that the lexical marking of interrogativity is nevertheless accompanied by differences in intonation. The most consistent result was raising of f0 peaks in question words an...
متن کاملA pitch marks filtering algorithm based on restricted dynamic programming
In this paper, a generic pitch marks filtering algorithm (PMFA) is introduced in order to achieve reliable and smooth pitch marks from any input pitch tracking or marking algorithm. The proposed PMFA is a simple yet effective filtering process based on restricted dynamic programming, but very helpful for minimizing human intervention when creating large speech corpora. Moreover, this work intro...
متن کاملAn Iterative Approach to Pitch–marking of Speech Signals without Electroglottographic Data
We propose an iterative approach to high–quality pitch– marking of speech recordings without the use of laryngographic data. Our method first identifies islands of pitch marks that can be determined with high confidence. These islands are then extended into neighboring regions. A second round of island identification and extension with lower quality requirements fills the remaining gaps. We eva...
متن کاملAccurate pitch marking for prosodic modification of speech segments
This paper describes a new approach to pitch marking. Unlike other approaches that use the same combination of features for the whole signal, we take into account the signal properties and apply different features according to some heuristic. Basically we use a special type of energy contour for pitch marking. Where the energy information turns out to be not suitable as an indicator we resort t...
متن کاملA hybrid speech signal based algorithm for pitch marking using finite state machines
Pitch marking is a major task in speech processing. Thus, an accurate detection of pitch marks (PM) is required. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method for pitch marking that combines outputs of two different speech signal based pitch marking algorithms (PMA). We use a finite state machine (FSM) to represent and combine the pitch marks. The hybrid PMA is implemented in four stages: preproces...
