Robust Estimation of Fundamental Frequency Using Single Frequency Filtering Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for robust estimation of fundamental frequency (F0) from speech signal is proposed in this paper. The method exploits the high SNR regions of speech in time and frequency domains in the outputs of single frequency filtering (SFF) of speech signal. The high resolution in the frequency domain brings out the harmonic characteristics of speech clearly. The harmonic spacing in the high SNR regions of spectrum determine the F0. The concept of root cepstrum is used to reduce the effects of vocal tract resonances in the F0 estimation. The proposed method is evaluated for clean speech and noisy speech simulated for 15 different degradations at different noise levels. Performance of the proposed method is compared with four other standard methods of F0 extraction. From the results it is evident that the proposed method is robust for most types of degradations.

A Novel Method for Estimation of The Fundamental Parameters of Distorted Single Phase Signals
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...
متن کاملApplication of Single-Frequency Time-Space Filtering Technique for Seismic Ground Roll and Random Noise Attenuation
Time-frequency filtering is an acceptable technique for attenuating noise in 2-D (time-space) and 3-D (time-space-space) reflection seismic data. The common approach for this purpose is transforming each seismic signal from 1-D time domain to a 2-D time-frequency domain and then denoising the signal by a designed filter and finally transforming back the filtered signal to original time domain. ...

The aim of this paper is robust identification of smart foam, as an electroacoustic transducer, considering unmodeled dynamics due to nonlinearities in behaviour at low frequencies and measurement noise at high frequencies as existent uncertainties. Set membership estimation combined with model error modelling technique is used where the approach is based on worst case scenario with unknown but...

Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
