Voice Fundamental Frequency Extraction Algorithm Based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition and Entropies
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new algorithm for pitch extraction based on the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) is presented. Applications to normal and pathological voices are considered. EEMD is a completely data-driven method for signal decomposition into a sum of AM FM components, called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) or modes, which can be written as ( ) cos( ( )) A t t φ . The voice fundamental frequency (F0) can be captured in a single IMF, allowing its extraction by means of well known AM-FM separating techniques. An entropy based selection algorithm is here proposed, in order to determine the mode that holds the fundamental frequency. The behavior of the proposed method is compared with other two ones, both in normal and pathological sustained vowels. Keywords— Ensemble empirical mode decomposition, fundamental frequency, pathological voice, entropy.

Blind Voice Separation Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition and Grey Wolf Optimizer Algorithm
Blind voice separation refers to retrieve a set of independent sources combined by an unknown destructive system. The proposed separation procedure is based on processing of the observed sources without having any information about the combinational model or statistics of the source signals. Also, the number of combined sources is usually predefined and it is difficult to estimate based on the ...
