Abstract English In this paper, we present a method for estimation of the fundamental frequencies, or pitches, of several periodic sources. This difficult estimation problem occurs, for example, in speech and audio processing whenever multiple speakers or tones are present. The presented method is an extension of a recently proposed method for estimation of the fundamental frequency of a set of harmonically related sinusoids based on the MUSIC criterion. The estimator takes into account that the number of harmonics and sources may vary. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in Monte Carlo simulations using synthetic signals under various conditions.
