Signal Processing Methods for Music Transcription is the first book dedicated to uniting
research related to signal processing algorithms and models for various aspects of music …

An algorithm is presented for the estimation of the fundamental frequency (F 0) of speech or
musical sounds. It is based on the well-known autocorrelation method with a number of …

A set of simple new procedures has been developed to enable the real-time manipulation of
speech parameters. The proposed method uses pitch-adaptive spectral analysis combined …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

The coding of complex sounds in the early auditory system has a 'standard model'based on
the known physiology of the cochlea and main brainstem pathways. This model accounts for …

The external ear or pinna (auricle) collects sound, which passes along the external auditory
canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane)(Fig. 2.1). The middle ear (tympanum) is a cavity …

This chapter discusses models of pitch, old and recent. The aim is to chart their common
points—many are variations on a theme—and differences, and build a catalog of ideas for …

The ability to extract a pitch from complex harmonic sounds, such as human speech, animal
vocalizations, and musical instruments, is a fundamental attribute of hearing. Some theories …

Periodicity pitch is the most salient and important of all pitch percepts. Psychoacoustical
models of this percept have long postulated the existence of internalized harmonic …

Simultaneous consonance is a salient perceptual phenomenon corresponding to the
perceived pleasantness of simultaneously sounding musical tones. Various competing …
