This paper proposes a novel and effective approach to extract the pitches of the singing voice from monaural polyphonic songs. The sinusoidal partials of the musical audio signals are first extracted. The Fourier transform is then applied to extract the vibrato/tremolo information of each partial. Some criteria based on this vibrato/tremolo information are employed to discriminate the vocal partials from the music accompaniment partials. Besides, a singing pitch trend estimation algorithm which…

Efficient Vocal Melody Extraction from Polyphonic Music Signals

The quantitative evaluation shows that the proposed system for automatic vocal melody extraction from polyphonic music recordings not only keeps the overall accuracy compared with the state-of-the-art approaches submitted to MIREX, but also achieves high algorithm efficiency.

Singing Voice Separation and Pitch Extraction from Monaural Polyphonic Audio Music via DNN and Adaptive Pitch Tracking

A novel and effective two-stage approach to singing pitch extraction, which involves singing voice separation and pitch tracking for monaural polyphonic audio music, that outperforms a previous state-of-the-art approach in raw-pitch accuracy.

Singing Voice Separation and Vocal F0 Estimation Based on Mutual Combination of Robust Principal Component Analysis and Subharmonic Summation

A new method of singing voice analysis that performs mutually-dependent singing voice separation and vocal fundamental frequency (F0) estimation that outperformed all the other methods ofsing voice separation submitted to an international music analysis competition called MIREX 2014.

A trend estimation algorithm for singing pitch detection in musical recordings

A trend estimation algorithm to detect the pitch ranges of a singing voice in each time frame is proposed and substantially reduces the difficulty of singing pitch detection by reducing a large number of wrong pitch candidates either produced by musical instruments or the overtones of the singing voice.

Towards Solving the Bottleneck of Pitch-based Singing Voice Separation

Two novel methods based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) are devised, which outperform other state-of-the-art singing separation algorithms and improve the accuracy of vocal pitch detection.

Singing voice separation using mono-channel mask

This work proposes a three stage system for singing voice separation which helps to improve intelligibility and perceptual quality of the separated output and observes that the singing voice separated using mono-channel mask improves the GNSDR score.

Singing voice analysis and editing based on mutually dependent F0 estimation and source separation

A novel framework that improves both vocal fundamental frequency (F0) estimation and singing voice separation by making effective use of the mutual dependency of those two tasks by combining a time-frequency mask based on RPCA with a masks based on harmonic structures is presented.
