Joint Fundamental Frequency and Order Estimation using Optimal Filtering

Christensen, Mads ; Jensen, Jesper ; Jakobsson, Andreas LU orcid and Jensen, Sören (2009) 17th European Signal Processing Conference
Abstract
In this paper, two optimal filter designs for fundamental frequency

estimation are presented with the first being based on a filterbank

and the second on a single filter. We show that the two designs are

related in a simple manner and result in the same residual when used

for cancelling out the harmonics. We propose to use this residual

for estimating the number of harmonics by combining a noise variance

estimate with an order dependent penalty term. This leads to

a joint estimator of the fundamental frequency and the order based

on the same criterion. Via Monte Carlo simulations, the estimator is

demonstrated to have good performance in terms of the... (More)
