Returns the fundamental in Hz. Note that the actual pitch estimate is for the centre of the M sample Sn[] vector, not the current N sample input vector. This is (I think) a delay of 2.5 frames with N=80 samples. You should align further analysis using this pitch estimate to be centred on the middle of Sn[]. Two post processors have been tried, the MBE version (as discussed in [1]), and a post processor that checks sub-multiples. Both suffer occasional gross pitch errors (i.e. neither are perfect). In the presence of background noise the sub-multiple algorithm tends towards low F0 which leads to better sounding background noise than the MBE post processor. A good way to test and develop the NLP pitch estimator is using the tnlp (codec2/unittest) and the codec2/octave/plnlp.m Octave script. A pitch tracker searching a few frames forward and backward in time would be a useful addition.

If local maxima exist and they are above an experimentally derived threshold (OK a magic number I pulled out of the air) we choose the submultiple as the F0 estimate. The rational for this is that the lowest frequency peak of Fw[] should be F0, as Fw[] can be considered the autocorrelation function of Sw[] (the speech spectrum). However sometimes due to phase effects the lowest frequency maxima may not be the global maxima. This works OK in practice and favours low F0 values in the presence of background noise which means the sinusoidal codec does an OK job of synthesising the background noise. High F0 in background noise tends to sound more periodic introducing annoying artifacts. \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ float post_process_sub_multiples(COMP Fw[], int pmin, int pmax, float gmax, int gmax_bin, float *prev_Wo) { int min_bin, cmax_bin; int mult; float thresh, best_f0; int b, bmin, bmax, lmax_bin; float lmax, cmax; int prev_f0_bin; /* post process estimate by searching submultiples */ mult = 2; min_bin = PE_FFT_SIZE*DEC/pmax; cmax_bin = gmax_bin; prev_f0_bin = *prev_Wo*(4000.0/PI)*(PE_FFT_SIZE*DEC)/SAMPLE_RATE; while(gmax_bin/mult >= min_bin) { b = gmax_bin/mult; /* determine search interval */ bmin = 0.8*b; bmax = 1.2*b; if (bmin < min_bin) bmin = min_bin; /* lower threshold to favour previous frames pitch estimate, this is a form of pitch tracking */ if ((prev_f0_bin > bmin) && (prev_f0_bin < bmax)) thresh = CNLP*0.5*gmax; else thresh = CNLP*gmax; lmax = 0; lmax_bin = bmin; for (b=bmin; b<=bmax; b++) /* look for maximum in interval */ if (Fw[b].real > lmax) { lmax = Fw[b].real; lmax_bin = b; } if (lmax > thresh) if ((lmax > Fw[lmax_bin-1].real) && (lmax > Fw[lmax_bin+1].real)) { cmax = lmax; cmax_bin = lmax_bin; } mult++; } best_f0 = (float)cmax_bin*SAMPLE_RATE/(PE_FFT_SIZE*DEC); return best_f0; } /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ post_process_mbe() Use the MBE pitch estimation algorithm to evaluate pitch candidates.
