ABSTRACT:
A method and system for refining an estimated pitch period estimate based on a coarse pitch useful for performing frame loss concealment in an audio decoder as well as for other applications. A normalized correlation at the coarse pitch lag is computed and used as the current best candidate. The normalized correlation is then evaluated at the midpoint of the refinement pitch range on either side of the current best candidate. If the normalized correlation at either midpoint is greater than the current best lag, the midpoint with the maximum correlation is selected as the current best lag. After each iteration, the refinement range is decreased by a factor of two and centered on the current best lag. This bisectional search continues until the pitch has been refined to an acceptable tolerance or until the refinement range has been exhausted. During each step of the bisectional pitch refinement, the signal is decimated to reduce the complexity of computing the normalized correlation.
