Abstract
Disclosed herein is a pitch estimation apparatus and associated methods for estimating a fundamental frequency of an audio signal from a fundamental frequency probability density function by modeling the audio signal as a weighted mixture of a plurality of tone models corresponding respectively to harmonic structures of individual fundamental frequencies, so that the fundamental frequency probability density function of the audio signal is given as a distribution of respective weights of the plurality of the tone models.
