چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present a method improving pitch estimation accuracy, showing high performance for both synthetic harmonic signals and musical instrument sounds. This method employs an Artificial Neural Network of a feed-forward type. In addition, octave error optimized pitch detection algorithm, based on spectral analysis is introduced. The proposed algorithm is very effective for signals with strong harmonic, as well as nearly sinusoidal contents. Experiments were performed on a variety of musical instrument sounds and sample results exemplifying main issues of both engineered algorithms are shown.

Noise Robust Pitch Tracking by Subband Autocorrelation Classification
Pitch tracking algorithms have a long history in various applications such as speech coding and extracting information, as well as other domains such as bioacoustics and music signal processing. While autocorrelation is a useful technique for detecting periodicity, autocorrelation peaks suffer ambiguity, leading to the classic “octave error” in pitch tracking. Moreover, additive noise can affec...
متن کاملClassification of Iranian Traditional Music Dastgahs Using Features Based on Pitch Frequency
The Iranian traditional music is composed of seven majors Dastgahs: Chahargah, Homayoun, Mahour, Segah, Shour, Nava, and Rast-Panjgah. In this paper, a new algorithm for the classification of the Iranian traditional music Dastgahs based on pitch frequency is proposed. In this algorithm, the features of Lagrange coefficients of pitch logarithm (LCPL), Fuzzy similarity sets type 2 (FSST2), and th...
متن کاملMelody Extraction from Polyphonic Audio of Western Opera: A Method based on Detection of the Singer's Formant
Current melody extraction approaches perform poorly on the genre of opera [1, 2]. The singer’s formant is defined as a prominent spectral-envelope peak around 3 kHz found in the singing of professional Western opera singers [3]. In this paper we introduce a novel melody extraction algorithm based on this feature for opera signals. At the front end, it automatically detects the singer’s formant ...
متن کاملMelody pitch estimation based on range estimation and candidate extraction using harmonic structure model
This paper proposes an algorithm to estimate the melody pitch line (the most dominant pitch sequence) of a given polyphonic audio based on melody range estimation and pitch candidate extraction using a harmonic structure model similar to that proposed by Goto. This paper defines melody pitch candidate as a list of pitch candidates that produces the best-fit harmonic models to the polyphonic aud...
متن کاملMulti-band summary correlogram-based pitch detection for noisy speech
A multi-band summary correlogram (MBSC)-based pitch detection algorithm (PDA) is proposed. The PDA performs pitch estimation and voiced/unvoiced (V/UV) detection via novel signal processing schemes that are designed to enhance the MBSC’s peaks at the most likely pitch period. These peak-enhancement schemes include comb-filter channel-weighting to yield each individual subband’s summary correlog...
