Abstract

In speech processing, methods based on glottal closure instances (GCI) for pitch period estimation have proven to give good results. We propose here a new method to estimate the GCIs based on the Teager energy function (TEF). The technique is simple and has a low computational load. The method is based on the peak detection of the TEF for each frame. A smoothing technique is then implemented to pick the right value for the pitch period. Intensive experimental results showed that the proposed technique outperforms both the autocorrelation and cepstral based techniques.
