Extended Average Magnitude Difference Function Based Pitch Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new extended average magnitude difference function for noise robust pitch detection. Average magnitude difference function based algorithms are suitable for real time operations, but suffer from incorrect pitch detection in noisy conditions. The proposed new extended average magnitude difference function involves in sufficient number of averaging for all lag values compared to the original average magnitude difference function, and thereby eliminates the falling tendency of the average magnitude difference function without emphasizing pitch harmonics at higher lags, which is a severe limitation of other existing improvements of the average magnitude difference function. A noise robust post processing that explores the contribution of each frequency channel is also presented. Experimental results on Keele pitch database in different noise level, both with white and color noise, shows the superiority of the proposed extended average magnitude difference function based pitch detection method over other methods based on average magnitude difference function.

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...

A comparative performance study of seven pitch detection algorithms was conducted. A speech data base, consisting of eight utterances spoken by three males, three females, and one child was constructed. Telephone, close talking microphone, and wideband recordings were made of each of the utterances. For each of the utterances in the data base; a "standard" pitch contour was semiautomatically me...
