“…Voiced speech signals are built from harmonic components which are periodic and can be resynthesized easily. Many algorithms to extract harmonic components from speech signals have been proposed where the motivation for the intensive research is its wide usability within the field of engineering such as: speech analysis [1][2][3][4], speech coding [5][6][7], pitch tracking and estimation [3,7,8], speech enhancement using harmonic regeneration [9], post-speech enhancement [10,11], bandwidth extension [12,13] and voice activity detection [14]. Recently, the periodicity of harmonic structure has been used to compensate noise and to identify the corrupted time-frequency regions.…”
