Abstract :
This paper deals with the determination in real-time of the fundamental frequency FO of speech signals using an enhanced version of the CATE algorithm. The voiced / unvoiced decision as well as pitch determination is realized in real-time. Our approach was tested with the Bagshaw database of the Center for Speech Technology Research at Edinburgh. The presented algorithm, besides being able to work in real time, provides comparable or better results than those obtained by eSRPD, CATE or ALS algorithms.
