ABSTRACT:
A pitch estimating method includes the steps of (1) determining a set of pitch candidates to estimate a pitch of a digitized speech signal at each of a plurality of time instants, wherein series of these time instants define segments of the digitized speech signal; (2) constructing a pitch contour using a pitch candidate selected from each of the sets of pitch candidates determined in the first step; and (3) selecting a representative pitch estimate for the digitized speech signal segment from the set of pitch candidates comprising the pitch contour.
