Summary :

By the term peak frequency" of a short-time power spectrum, we mean a frequency at which the power spectrum takes a maximal value with respect to frequency. Peak frequencies are recognized to be important feature parameters for machine recognition of sound signals. We propose a new method for extracting the peak frequencies from a pitched signal like speech sounds, musical instrument tones, and so on. Our method makes use of the first and the second frequency derivatives of a short-time power spectrum, so that it is called Power Spectrum Derivative Method (PSDM)". PSDM has such an advantage that exact peak frequencies having close relevance to the resonance and harmonic components can be extracted from a short duration signal. PSDM was applied to the analysis of Japanese vowels and guitar sounds with good results.
