Pitch determination using the cepstrum of the one-sided autocorrelation sequence
1991
[Proceedings] ICASSP 91: 1991 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing
A new cepstral function, the cepstrum of the one-sided autocorrelation sequence, is presented and applied to pitch determination of speech signals. ...
It shows a performance in terms of pitch period errors significantly better than those of the usual cepstrum and autocorrelation with center clipping algorithms for both clean and noisy speech, due to ...
Particularly, the number of pitch period errors increases significantly at transitions between a voiced sound and another sound that can be voiced, unvoiced or silence, and also in sounds that have a transitional ...
