PITCH DETECTION ALGORITHM BASED ON PWVT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of a pitch detection comprising:
- sampling a signal to generate a discrete time signal;
generating a complex valued discrete time signal from the discrete time signal;
computing Pseudo Weigner Ville Transformation (PWVT) on the complex valued discrete time signal to generate a spectral representation of the signal;
computing a harmonic summation on the spectral representation to generate a pitch candidate; and
deciding the pitch candidate as a pitch value if a harmonic summation value of the pitch candidate is larger than a threshold.

Abstract
A pitch detection method. Such a pitch detection method may apply Pseudo Weigner Ville Transformation (PWVT) as a spectral representation of speech signal. Also, the pitch detection method may take the median value of each frame of the speech signal as a threshold for making the voicing decision. Additionally, the pitch detection method may take a moving average of PWVT as the threshold for voicing decision.
