A METHOD FOR MEASURING THE PITCH FREQUENCY OF SPEECH SIGNALS FOR THE SYSTEMS OF ACOUSTIC SPEECH ANALYSIS

摘要

We developed a new method for measuring the pitch frequency of speech signals with elevated noise immunity. The problem of protection against intense background noise is solved in this method by the frequency selection of vocalized segments of speech signals according to a scheme with comb filter of interperiodic accumulation. The efficiency of the method is analyzed both theoretically and experimentally with the help of a multichannel frequency meter intended for the acoustic speech analysis. It is shown that, for a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 dB and higher, the error of the method does not exceed 2%.
