Abstract AR
المركبتان الأساسيتان للصوتيات الفيزيائية 20 لإشارة الكلام هما ترددات التناغم و التواتر الأساسي، هذه الأخيرة التي تمكننا من معرفة و التمييز بين الصوت فوازي (voisé) و غير فوازي (non voisé).
في هذه المقالة نعطي طريقة جديدة لحساب قيمة التواتر الأساسي في حالة وجود و عدم وجود الضوضاء الغوسية و ذلك باستعمال الإحصائيات من الدرجة الرابعة.
Abstract EN
In a number of speech applications, such as coding, synthesis or recognition, it is crucial to make a reliable discrimination between voiced / unvoiced segments and accurately determine the pitch period.
The problem of an accurate estimation and decision in noisy condition remains open; Higher-order statistics (H.O.S) have inherent properties that make them well suited when dealing with a mixture of Gaussian and non-Gaussian processes.
This paper explores the fourth order cumulant using autoregressive model (AR(p)) and presents a new algorithm for pitch detection of voiced sounds with and without colored Gaussian noise and shows the superiority of the novel method over the classical methods such as cepstral method.
