The invention provides a parallelization method for extracting the melody of counterpoint based on GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), and the method comprises the following three steps: firstly, conducting spectrum transform and pitch value saliency computing to the music data on the GPU; secondly, constructing pitch contour by using pitch saliency on the GPU, getting the relevant characteristics of the pitch contour, and conducting voice detection by using the characteristics; thirdly, conducting frequency doubling removing and outliers removing to the remained pitch contour and finally obtaining the melody track of the counterpoint. The method provided by the invention is based on counterpoint, and can be applied to music without background music and speech sounds. According to the method provided by the invention, the melody can be extracted based on GPU, the extracting time is decreased from the second level to the millisecond level, so as to achieve the standard of real time application. Furthermore, the extracting of required hardware resource is greatly reduced, and the developing speed of the algorithmic is greatly improved, so as to provide the method with wide use value and application prospect in the field of commercial application and scientific research.
