A Robust Formant Extraction Algorithm Combining Spectral Peak Picking and Root Polishing

<p/> <p>We propose a robust formant extraction algorithm that combines the spectral peak picking, formants location examining for peak merger checking, and the root extraction methods. The spectral peak picking method is employed to locate the formant candidates, and the root extraction...
