Abstract

The invention provides a local mean decomposition (LMD) improving method for speech fundamental frequency extraction. Firstly, an upper envelope and a lower envelope of a speech signal are calculated through an iterative envelope method of a cubic spline interpolation, and the local mean function and the envelope estimation function of the speech signal are calculated; after screening is completed once, in the subsequence screening process, an iterative envelope method of a piecewise cubic hermite interpolating polynomial is used for calculating the upper envelope and the lower envelope of the speech signal so as to obtain the new local mean function and envelope estimation function; after LMD is completed, the component with maximum energy is selected to calculate the frequency spectrum of the envelope function of the speech signal; and finally, the fundamental frequency of the speech signal is obtained. The iterative envelope methods with an under-envelope elimination function are introduced into an LMD method, a high-order interpolation curve and a low-order interpolation curve are combined to slow down over-envelopes, thus the local mean function and the envelope estimation function of the signal are built, and the calculating efficiency and convergence stability of the LMD method in the fundamental frequency extraction process of the speech signal are improved remarkably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of local mean value decomposition methods, and in particular relates to an improved local mean value decomposition method for speech pitch frequency extraction. Background technique [0002] Local mean decomposition method (Local Mean Decomposition, LMD) is a multi-component amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) signal decomposition and demodulation method, which can decompose the multi-component into the sum of several single-component AM-FM signals , and the instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude of each component can be obtained, so as to realize the decomposition and demodulation of multi-component AM-FM signals. [0003] The vocal cords are one of the most important vocal organs in the human vocal system. When speaking, the vocal cords are opened by the impact of the subglottic airflow, and then closed again due to the toughness of the vocal cords. The time for each opening and...
