Resolving Overlapping Harmonics for Monaural Musical Sound Separation Using Pitch and Common Amplitude Modulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In mixtures of pitched sounds, the problem of overlapping harmonics poses a significant challenge to monaural musical sound separation systems. In this paper we present a new algorithm for sinusoidal parameter estimation of overlapping harmonics for pitched instruments. Our algorithm is based on the assumptions that harmonics of the same source have correlated amplitude envelopes and the phase change of harmonics can be accurately predicted from an instrument’s pitch. We exploit these two assumptions in a leastsquares estimation framework to resolve overlapping harmonics. This new algorithm is incorporated into a separation system and quantitative evaluation shows that the resulting system performs significantly better than an existing monaural music separation system for mixtures of harmonic instruments.

متن کاملReconstructing individual monophonic instruments from musical mixtures using scene completion
Monaural sound source separation is the process of separating sound sources from a single channel mixture. In mixtures of pitched musical instruments, the problem of overlapping harmonics poses a significant challenge to source separation and reconstruction. One standard method to resolve overlapped harmonics is based on the assumption that harmonics of the same source have correlated amplitude...
متن کاملSource Separation and Analysis of Piano Music Signals Using Instrument-specific Sinusoidal Model
Many existing monaural source separation systems use sinusoidal modeling to represent pitched musical sounds during the separation process. In these sinusoidal modeling systems, a musical sound is represented by a sum of time-varying sinusoidal components, and the goal of source separation is to estimate the parameters of each component. Here, we propose an instrument-specific sinusoidal model ...
متن کاملMusical Sound Separation Based on Binary Time-Frequency Masking
The problem of overlapping harmonics is particularly acute in musical sound separation and has not been addressed adequately. We propose a monaural system based on binary time-frequency masking with an emphasis on robust decisions in timefrequency regions, where harmonics from different sources overlap. Our computational auditory scene analysis system exploits the observation that sounds from t...
متن کاملSpectro-temporal modulation based singing detection combined with pitch-based grouping for singing voice separation
A spectro-temporal modulation based singing voice detection cascaded with a Viterbi based pitch tracking algorithm is proposed in this paper for singing-voice separation from monaural recordings. To detect the singing voice, the spectrotemporal modulation energy related to voice harmonics is extracted using a spectro-temporal modulation analysis framework developed for the Fourier spectrogram. ...
