A thread like spectrum, which is composed of the fundamental frequency and its harmonic components, is acquired by applying a BLIN to the short time spectrum of the speech signal. Then the pitch is determined by the average interval of harmonics. The algorithm is evaluated on COSDIC speech database. For comparison, the same results obtained from the same speech sample with the cepstrum and autocorrelation based pitch determination algorithms are also presented. The results show that the new algorithm is superior to the cepstrum and autocorrelation based pitch determination algorithms.展开更多
文摘A novel pitch determination algorithm with binary lateral inhibition network (BLIN) is proposed in this paper.
