Estimation of Fundamental Speech Frequency
Ráček, Tomáš ; Vlach, Jan (referee) ; Vondra, Martin (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis focuses on algorithms with respect to estimation of fundamental speech frequency. First part is introduce to the questions of speech signals and the thesis at this point gives a clue what the core is going to be about. In the second part the nature of speech signal is explained, as well as the process of it’s creation by a person and models for speech generation. In the chapter 3 processing of acoustic signals are described, where pre-processing, segmentation and application of Hamming window on the same acoustic speech signal are included. The next chapter reports on pitch speech frequency signal as a physical magnitude and it's derivation from the pitch period. Furthermore describes, fundamental frequency creation in speech organs, scale range for different people, properties that carries and finally possibilities of it’s usage. Chapter 5 deals with essential principles defining pitch speech frequency in time, frequency and cepstral domain. Chapter 6 contains description of principles, used in situations, where the speech signal is devalued by noise. In the next chapter author describes design and implementation of selected principle. Furthermore, author presents results that have been achieved with this specific principle and compares them to the results of ordinary autocorrelation principle. The final chapter summarises the thesis and discusses about possible further part, extension or improvement of the algorithm.
