ABSTRACT:
A function of improving accuracy of the extraction of pitch information in an audio signal including voice and sound signals is implemented. To do this, a morphological operation is used. In detail, an input audio signal is converted to an audio signal in a frequency domain, an optimum structuring set size (SSS) is determined, and a morphological operation is performed using the determined SSS. Then, by extracting the highest peak from a signal obtained through a predetermined fold and summation process as pitch information, the pitch information can be used in all audio systems in the latter part when voice coding, recognition, synthesis, and/or robustness are performed.
