Estimation of Harmonic and Noise Components from Pathological Voice using Iterative Method.
The aim of this paper is to analyze and discriminate the pathological voice by separating signal into periodic and aperiodic parts. Separation was performed recursively from the residual signal of voice signal. Based on initial estimation of aperiodic part of spectrum, aperiodic part is decided from the extrapolation method. Periodic part is decided by subtracting aperiodic part from the original spectrum. A parameter HNR is derived based on the separation. Parameter value statistics are compared with those of Jitter and Shimmer for normal, benign and malignant cases.
