Title
A performance evaluation study of four wavelet algorithms for the pitch period estimation of speech signals
Abstract
Pitch period is considered an important parameter in designing an automatic speaker recognition/identification system. Recently, inspired by application of multiscale analysis to edge detection in image processing, a new technique for pitch detection and estimation, based on the dyadic wavelet transform, was developed. In this paper we provide a more general setting for the wavelet based pitch estimation methodology: we show that certain restrictions on the window function, inherent in wavelet analysis, are unnecessary, and that discretization of the dilation parameter on a finer than the dyadic scale Can be used advantageously in the multiscale pitch detection scheme.
