| Abstract | ||||
| This paper investigates the effect of reverberation on pitch frequency estimation. The autocorrelation function (ACF) method is used for pitch frequency estimation with and without reverberation effect. This paper modeled the reverberation effect on speech signal using a comb filter. The estimation error percentage of a comb filter at the length mild 8, moderate 10, and severe 12 in these scenarios have been investigated. The accuracy of the pitch frequency estimation is evaluated for the different scenarios for further accurate speech processing and verification. | ||||
