Abstract :
Based on a new similarity model for the voice excitation process, a novel pitch determination procedure is derived. The unique features of the proposed algorithm are infinite (super) resolution, better accuracy than the difference limen for F0, robustness to noise, reliability, and modest computational complexity. The algorithm is instrumental to speech processing applications which require pitch synchronous spectral analysis. The computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is well within the capacity of modern digital signal processing (DSP) technology and therefore can be implemented in real time
