A new pitch detector based on preselected information from the LPC error signal

S. G. Bakamidis, George Carayannis, N. Skiadas

Pitch extraction is always a very interesting problem. Many algorithms exist but none of them is always working. The technique studied here is very accurate. The multipulse sequence is proposed as the most efficient vehicle of pitch information. A computer program named MPDE (Multipulse Driven Pitch Extractor) is built which performs extremely well. Its implementation details are discussed next.
