Pitch Oriented Automatic Singer Identification in Pop Music

In this paper, we proposed two novel methods used to distinguish the singer of a pop music. We focused on a single singer and single track case. These two methods are ldquoPitch Extractionrdquo method and ldquo1/12 OFCCrdquo method. The Pitch Extraction method is composed of three stages and they are Singing pitch estimation stage, Exact pitch calculation stage and GMM classification stage. ldquo1/12 OFCCrdquo method is composed of ldquoPitch Feature Calculationrdquo and GMM classification. We also compare these two methods with OFCC based method. With ldquoPitch Extractionrdquo and ldquo1/12 OFCCrdquo method, we have some improvement on works of singer identification using single feature.
