Towards Generalized FRI Sampling with an Application to Source Resolution in Radioastronomy

Martin Vetterli, Thierry Blu, Hanjie Pan

It is a classic problem to estimate continuous-time sparse signals, like point sources in a direction-of-arrival problem, or pulses in a time-of-flight measurement. The earliest occurrence is the estimation of sinusoids in time series using Prony's method. ...

A Simple Continuous Pitch Estimation Algorithm

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Recent work in text to speech synthesis has pointed to the benefit of using a continuous pitch estimate; that is, one that records pitch even when voicing is not present. Such an approach typically requires interpolation. The purpose of this paper is to sh ...
