One of the good features to recognize the voice gender is the periodicity of residual autocorrelation function. To implement the algorithm, We calculate the distance between the first and second peak of autocorrelation for each frame , average it all over the nonzero frames and take it as a feature of gender voice. Needless to say, using autocorrelation of residual can be identified as linea...

Hi all, Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment. I am having problems with matlab fft on autocorrelation data. When performing a fft on my normalised autocorrelation data i got a imagnary part that is not equal to zero around x=0 and also at the near end of the x-axis, but, in between all points are equal to zero. Imagnary plot that i got looked like below, ...

Hi. Does anyone have a good reference for pitch tracking by autocorrelation? I do note that there is a very long thread on this topic, but it's too long to follow. So far I've written a very straightforward program to calculate autocorrelation in a signal and also a crude envelope follower to approximate volume at each pixel. I now want to refine my approach and need a proper reference. What ...

Hi, I am trying to determine the pitch of an audio signal using autocorrelation. My autocorrelation peaks come out quite clearly and after a bit of processing, I have a signal where one of the following is true a) all the peaks are close to the same height as their neighbors b) Every second peak is significantly taller than the previous peak c) Every third peak is significantly taller tha...

Hello, It feels like this will be a standard DSP result that I should be able to dig up, but I'm not sure where to look, so here goes! If we have a continuous-time function, h(t) (assuming real and "sufficiently well-behaved" for now), then define the autocorrelation as: r(t) = int { h(tau) h(tau - t) d tau } Let's also define the discrete-time sampled sequence, h[n] = h(nT), whe...

Hi, I am using an autocorrelation function to calculate the period of a signal. It is a signal which is periodic. My problem is that there are some parts with big amplitudes and some part with small amplitudes. The disadvantage of the autocorrelation is that the big amplitudes are dominant and that it is very difficult to calculate the period of the signal if there is only 1.5 periods ava...

Hello group Let X(n) = Y for all n. X(n) is a stochastic process. Y is random variable with uniform distribution in (0,1). The autocorrelation of X, rxx(m) = E{X(n)X(n-m)} = E{Y.Y} = E{Y^2} 1 E{Y^2} = integral y^2 pdf(y) dy = 1/3 0 rxx(m) = 1/3 which is a constant. Matlab N =...

Hi, If your data consists of ones and negative ones then you get negative values in your autocorrelation function, but if your data is ones and zeros you don't. In an autocorrelation plot you often see large negative values on either side of your correlation peak. Is this a good thing or bad thing? The reason I ask is because at first glance it appears to be a good thing, however now ...

Hey all, i am computing sample autocorrelation for some continouous valued data (using this: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/sasp/Sample_Autocorrelation.html) but the generated correlation matrix has negative eigenvalues. Is there a way to fix the autocorrelation matrix to have non-negative eigenvalues? I always thought that the sample correlation matrix should have been positive semidefinite. th...

Hello Forum the nonstationary autocorrelation function R(t1, t2) depends on two variables t1,t2. If t2-t1=tau, then R(t1, t1+tau) It turns out that the power spectral density S(w), for a nonstationary autocorrelation function is equal to: S(w)= FT { }, the Fourier transform of the "long-time average of R(t, t+tau)" is the power spectral density. Why is S(w) not a function of

Hi I would like to compute the autocorrelation matrix from a vector with Matlab. I don't have the statistical signal processing toolbox (I can only use "cov" and "corrcoef" functions, or build my own function). Could someone explain how I can do? Thanks a lot. Thom

Hi, I am trying to understand the autocorrelation function for better timing resolution. I am bit confused how to find out the auto correlation PEAK from the output of M-Sequence? and What is the impact of distance between the two peaks? In other words, the impact of the length of the M-Sequence? Thanks,

Hi! I'm hoping here's someone who can help me with a "hairy" matrix equation. I stumbled upon this developing my lossless audio codec. I have this: e = r^T * (R^-1 - A^T * (A*R*A^T)^-1 * A) * r, where r is 1xk vector (lags 1 to k of autocorrelation), R is kxk matrix (autocorrelation matrix) and it's usually positive definite, A = [I 0]^T of size (k-1)xk, ie. (k-1)x(k-1) identity matrix...

As part of a senior design project designing a QAM modem. One major issue that I am trying to tackle is the ideal of tracking the phase of the incomming signal to the reciever so that the data can be sampled at the appropriate times. I am currently playing with the ideal of using the autocorrelation function. Does anyone have any advice that they could offer to this ideal? Thanks, -K...

Hello, I have just made some tests with the correl function of the "Numerical Recipes" (www.nr.com, http://library.lanl.gov/numerical/bookcpdf/c13-2.pdf). I am interessted in the autocorrelation (== both input sets are equal). When the input (1..8) is 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 The Result is 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0 Using the given reordering the result should be interpreted as Source 0 1 ...

So, I have a 1024 data set containing a signal and it's reflection. The signal and reflections are around 10 cycles of sine wave, eye-shaped. I need to find the time between the two. I do autocorrelation and get peaks at zero and the samples where there is maximum correlation. However, this only gives me an accuracy of one sample size - there must be far more information in the data

Hello, Signal Processing Experts, There is something that I have been so used to and does not look so obvious today. On page 98 of Communication Systems Engineering by Proakis (1st edition), it defines the autocorrelation function as the convolution between the signal itself and time reversed version of its complex conjugate: Rx(tau) = x(tau) convolve x*(-tau) ...

Hi, I'm looking for a more fundamental answer here. I'm starting to learn about PSD and autocorrelation etc., and while time domain makes sense to me, I have trouble imagining what Fourier tranform does to the autocorrelation function except tranforming it the frequency domain. Or put differently, if PSD shows how is the power (mean square value) spreads through different frequencies, the...

I have looked at some literature on using autocorrelation or AMDF for picth detection/extraction. If I understand correctly, all these methods have two parts -- first construct the functional that can be used to extrac the period/pitch (AMDF, autocorrelation etc.), second, find peak/null and the associated lag index to obtain the pitch. What I need help is how the extraction part is general...
