An Improved Speech Base Frequency Extraction Algorithm

Abstract

Traditional fundamental frequency extraction algorithms mainly include cepstrum method, short-time autocorrelation method. Some end-point extraction methods can’t correctly select the part of effective value due to the particularity of dialect audio and the noise influence. And, some fundamental frequency extraction methods cannot get the data consistent with the trend of tuning values. Against the above, this paper proposes an improved double threshold method for the extraction of the basic frequency according to the characteristics of the vowels of the initials of the one-word tone, which extracts the continuous vowels of the one-word tone, and looks for the basic frequency extraction algorithm that meets the classification of the tones of one-word. Finally, the effective basic frequency data is obtained. This method is more effective than other methods in speech tone recognition. It is of great significance to the study of speech tone, especially the study of dialect tone.
