Abstract

See full text

Pitch in audio signals may be estimated based on symmetry characteristics independent of harmonic amplitudes. A magnitude spectrum of an audio signal may be provided. The magnitude spectrum may be partitioned by dividing a frequency axis into equal-sized cells. Individual cells may be centered on corresponding harmonic frequencies of a hypothesized pitch. The magnitude spectrum contained in individual cells may be normalized to have equal mean magnitudes and equal standard deviations. A likelihood that the hypothesized pitch is an actual pitch of the audio signal may be determined based on symmetries of magnitude spectra contained in individual cells.
