Abstract
A method for post-processing of speech signals includes using a pitch correction filter, a pitch weight parameter adjustor, and a first pitch enhancement filter to process the input signal into a first output signal; summing both the input signal and the first output signal as a second output signal; and using a second pitch enhancement filter to process the second output signal. Furthermore, another method for post-processing of speech signals includes using a second pitch enhancement filter to process the input signal into a second output signal; using a pitch correction filter, a pitch weight parameter adjustor, and a first pitch enhancement filter to process the second output signal into a first output signal; and summing both the second output signal and the first output signal as a final output signal. The two methods can simultaneously realize pitch emphasis and enhancement with low computation complexity.
