A fundamental frequency estimation method for noisy speech based on instantaneous amplitude and frequency

چکیده
This paper proposes a robust and accurate F0 estimation method for noisy speech. This method uses two different principles: (1) an F0 estimation based on periodicity and harmonicity of instantaneous amplitude for a robust estimation in noisy environments, and (2) an F0 estimation based on stability of instantaneous frequency as an accurate estimation method. The proposed method also uses a comb filter with controllable passbands to combine the two estimation methods. Simulation results showed that: (1) the proposed method can estimate F0s for clean speech as accurate as the method using only instantaneous frequency, (2) the proposed method can robustly estimate F0s for speech with aperiodic noise in comparison with the other methods such as the cepstrum method, and (3) the proposed method had the capability of estimating F0s for speech with periodic noise.

Performance Evaluation of IFAS-based Fund Noisy Environm
In this paper, instantaneous frequency amplitude spectrum (IFAS)-based fundamental frequency estimator is evaluated with speech signal corrupted by additive white gaussian noise. A key idea of the IFAS-based estimator is the use of degree of regularity of periodicity in spectrum of speech signal, defined by a quantity called harmonicity measure, for band selection in the fundamental frequency e...
متن کاملOn a robust F0 estimation of speech based on IRAPT using robust TV-CAR analysis
Fundamental frequency (F0) estimation is important in speech processing such as speech coding, synthesis, recognition and so on. A present F0 estimation method performs well under clean condition, however the performance deteriorates significantly in noisy environment. As a result, robust F0 estimation against additive noise is demanded. We have previously proposed F0 estimation methods based o...
متن کاملSignal extraction from noisy signal based on auditory scene analysis
This paper proposes a method of extracting the desired signal from a noisy signal. This method solves the problem of segregating two acoustic sources by using constraints related to the four regularities proposed by Bregman and by making two improvements to our previously proposed method. One is to incorporate a method of estimating the fundamental frequency using the Comb ltering on the lterba...

This paper presents a new method for robust voiced/unvoiced segment (V/UV) classification and accurate fundamental frequency ( ) estimation in a noisy environment. For this purpose, we introduce the degree of dominance and dominance spectrum that are defined by instantaneous frequency. The degree of dominance allows us to evaluate the magnitude of individual harmonic components of speech signal...

This paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional SOGI (Second-Order Generalized Integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...
