Algorithm for detection of voice signal periodicity

This article presents an original algorithm for detecting the periodicity of voice signal. Main characteristics of current algorithm are: precise determination of each period from a voiced segment of speech, accurate detection of pitch interval boundaries, marking the glottal peak of each period. The algorithm uses time domain analysis of the signal, from this resulting its rapidity and efficiency.
