Abstract

This paper proposes a vocal enhancement technique for improving the performance of vocal pitch detection in polyphonic music signal. The proposed vocal enhancement technique predicts an accompaniment signal from the input signal and generates an accompaniment replica signal according to the vocal power. Then, it removes the accompaniment replica signal from the input signal, resulting in a vocal-enhanced signal. The performance of the proposed method was measured by applying the same vocal pitch extraction method to the original and the vocal-enhanced signal, and the vocal pitch detection accuracy was increased by 7.1 % point in average.

본 논문에서는 다성 음악 신호의 보컬 피치 검출 성능을 향상시키기 위해 음악 신호의 보컬 신호를 강화시키는 전처리 기술을 제안한다. 제안한 보컬 강화 기술은 입력된 다성 음악 신호로부터 반주 신호를 예측하고, 예측된 반주 신호를 입력된 보컬 신호의 크기에 맞춰 가공하여 반주 복사본 신호를 생성한다. 마지막으로 주파수 영역에서 반주 복사본 신호를 원래 다성 음악 신호에서 제거하여 보컬이 강화된 출력 신호를 생성한다. 원 음악 신호와 제안한 방법으로 보컬이 강화된 신호에 동일한 보컬 피치 검출 방법을 각각 적용하여 피치 검출의 정확도를 측정하였고, 제안한 기술에 의하여 피치 검출 정확도가 평균 7.1 % 포인트 향상된 것을 확인하였다.
