抄録: This paper reports the comparative evaluations of twelve typical methods of estimating fundamental frequency (F_0) over huge speech-sound datasets in artificial reverberant environments. They involve several classic algorithms such as Cepstrum, AMDF, LPC, and modified autocorrelation algorithms. Other methods involve a few modern instantaneous amplitude- and/or frequency-based algorithms, such as TEMPO, IFHC, and PHIA. The comparative results revealed that the percentage correct rates and SNRs of the estimated F_0s were reduced drastically as reverberation time increased. They also demonstrated that homomorphic (complex cepstrum) analysis and the concept of the source-filter model were relatively effective for estimating F_0 from reverberant speech. This paper thus proposes a new method of robustly and accurately F_0 estimating in reverberant environments, by utilizing the MTF concept and the source-filter model on the complex cepstrum analysis. The MTF concept is used in this method to eliminate dominant reverberant characteristics from observed reverberant speech. The source-filter model (liftering) is used to extract source information from the processed cepstrum. Finally, F_0s are estimated from them by using the comb-filtering method. Additive-comparative evaluation was carried out on the proposed method with other typical methods. The results demonstrated that it was better than the previously reported methods in terms of robustness and providing accurate F_0 estimates in reverberant environments.
