ABSTRACT:
A computationally efficient and robust pitch detection and tracking system and related methods are presented. According to certain exemplary implementations a method is presented comprising identifying an initial set of pitch period candidates using a first estimation algorithm, filtering the initial set of candidates and passing the filtered candidates through a second, more accurate pitch estimation algorithm to generate a final set of pitch period candidates from which the most likely pitch value is selected.
