A probabilistic approach to AMDF pitch detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a probabilistic error correction technique to be used with an average magnitude di erence function (AMDF) based pitch detector. This error correction routine provides a very simple method to correct errors in pitch period estimation. Used in conjunction with the computationally e cient AMDF, the result is a fast and accurate pitch detector. In performance tests on the CSTR (Center for Speech Technology Research) database, probabilistic error correction reduced the gross error rate from 6.07% to 3.29%.

A High Resolution Pitch Detection Algorithm Based on AMDF and ACF
This paper proposes a noise robust high resolution pitch detection algorithm based on AMDF and ACF. The falling trend of AMDF is eliminated by an alignment technique, and AMDF and ACF are combined to take the advantage of their complementary nature. These two functions are combined by multiplication and addition over several band pass filters to enhance important candidates and suppress less im...

متن کاملPitch determination using aligned AMDF
A pitch determination method based on AMDF (Average Magnitude Difference Function) is proposed in this paper. The AMDF is often used to determine the pitch parameter in real-time speech processing applications. Falling trend of AMDF at higher lags, however, makes the method vulnerable to octave errors (pitch doubling or halving). In this paper, we propose an alignment technique that effectively...
متن کاملAn algorithm for multi-pitch tracking in co-channel speech
Most multi-pitch algorithms are tested for performance only in voiced regions of speech, and are prone to yield pitch estimates even when the participating speakers are unvoiced. This paper presents a multi-pitch algorithm that detects the voiced and unvoiced regions in a mixture of two speakers, identifies the number of speakers in voiced regions, and yields the pitch estimates of each speaker...
متن کاملAUTOMATIC TRANSCRIPTION OF MUSICAL-WHISTLING: Comparing Pitch Detection Methods
In this paper we describe an automatic system for transforming (transcribing) man-made melodic whistles into MIDI-like symbolic representations. Given the monophonic nature of whistling, our system is mainly based in pitch detection and tracking methodologies. In particular, we compare four pitch detection techniques: Temporal Autocorrelation Function (tACF), Average Magnitude Difference Functi...
