Title: HMM Based Spectral Frequency Line Tracking: Improvements and New Results
Authors: Tuncay Gunes, Nurgun Erdol, Florida Atlantic University, United States
Abstract: This paper considers the application of Hidden Markov Models to the problem of tracking frequency lines in spectrograms of strongly non-stationary signals such as encountered in aero-acoustics and sonar where tracking difficulties arise from low SNR and large variances associated with spectral estimates. In the proposed method, we introduce a novel method to determine the observation (measurement) likelihoods by interpolation between local maxima. We also show that use of low variance AutoRegressiveMultiTaper (ARMT) spectral estimates results in improved tracking. The frequency line is tracked using the Forward-Backward algorithm.
