A robust multi-phase pitch-mark detection algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a robust multi-phase algorithm for marking of pitch pulses in speech using both glottal and speech signals. In the first phase, the glottal signal is used for the estimation of the fundamental frequency (f0) contour of the given sentence. Next, pitch mark candidates are generated on the basis of both glottal and speech signals. In the third phase, the best sequence of pitch marks is found in the set of the candidates. Finally, this pitch mark sequence is post-processed. One of the features of the new method is that every pitch mark detected is given confidence, so that problematic pitch mark subsequences can be located. The algorithm was tested and compared with other pitch-mark detection methods.

Multi-View Face Detection in Open Environments using Gabor Features and Neural Networks
Multi-view face detection in open environments is a challenging task, due to the wide variations in illumination, face appearances and occlusion. In this paper, a robust method for multi-view face detection in open environments, using a combination of Gabor features and neural networks, is presented. Firstly, the effect of changing the Gabor filter parameters (orientation, frequency, standard d...

In this paper, a new cochannel speech separation algorithm using multi-pitch extraction and speaker model based sequential grouping is proposed. After auditory segmentation based on onset and offset analysis, robust multi-pitch estimation algorithm is performed on each segment and the corresponding voiced portions are segregated. Then speaker pair model based on support vector machine (SVM) is ...
متن کاملCo-channel speaker identification using usable speech extraction based on multi-pitch tracking
Recently, usable speech criteria [1] are proposed to extract minimally corrupted speech for speaker identification (SID) in co-channel speech. In this paper, we propose a new usable speech extraction method to improve the SID performance under the co-channel situation based on the pitch information obtained from a robust multi-pitch tracking algorithm [2]. The idea is to retain the speech segme...
