Title:
TONE DETERMINATION DEVICE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/052191
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A tone determination device, which determines the tonality of an input signal by means of the correlations between the frequency components of the current frame and the frequency components of a previous frame, is capable of reducing calculation complexity. Therein a frequency conversion unit (101) converts the frequency of an input signal; a downsampling unit (102) carries out shortening processing which shortens the vector series length of the frequency-converted signal; a constancy determination unit (107) determines the constancy of the input signal; depending on the constancy of the input signal, a vector selection unit (104) selects either the vector series of the post-frequency conversion signal or the vector series after the shortening of the vector series length; a correlation analysis unit (105) uses the vector series selected by the vector selection unit (104) to obtain correlations; and a tone determination unit (106) uses the correlations to determine the tonality of the input signal.
