This paper investigates the effect of reverberation on pitch frequency estimation. The autocorrelation function (ACF) method is used for pitch frequency estimation with and without reverberation effect. This paper modeled the reverberation effect on speech signal using a comb filter. The estimation error percentage of a comb filter at the length mild 8, moderate 10, and severe 12 in these scenarios have been investigated. The accuracy of the pitch frequency estimation is evaluated for the different scenarios for further accurate speech processing and verification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
