Abstract
A synthesis-based method for pitch extraction of the speech signal is proposed. The method synthesizes a number of log power spectra for different values of fundamental frequency and compares them with the log power spectrum of the input speech segment. The average magnitude (AM) difference between the two spectra is used for comparison. The value of fundamental frequency that gives the minimum AM difference between the synthesized spectrum and the input spectrum is chosen as the estimated value of fundamental frequency. The voiced/unvoiced decision is made on the basis of the value of the AM difference at the minimum. For synthesizing the log power spectrum, the speech signal is assumed to be the output of an all-pole filter. The transfer function of the all-pole filter is estimated from the input speech segment by using the autocorrelation method of linear prediction. The synthesis-based method is tried out on real speech data and the results are discussed.
