The approach of NMF-based multiple pitch estimation is to decompose input magnitude spectrogram into sum of basis spectra representing individual pitches. In decomposing music signals, the amplitude of basis spectra should have sparseness, and the shape of amplitude should be continuous between neighbor temporal frames. We introduce the constraint using matrix norm to enforce these characteristic at once and propose new NMF algorithm for spectral decomposition with this constraint. The evaluation of solo piano music shows this algorithm can implement more robust pitch estimation in the place which input spectrum has certain different shape from basis spectra or the shape of input spectrum has temporal change.","PeriodicalId":164858,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132161947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While simulcasting can provide both dynamic range videos at the cost of some compression efficiency penalty, bit-depth scalable video coding can provide a better trade-off between compression efficiency, adaptation flexibility and computational complexity. Considering the widespread use of H.264/AVC video, this paper proposes a H.264/AVC backward compatible bit-depth scalable video coding solution offering a low dynamic range base layer and two high dynamic range enhancement layers with different qualities, at low complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed solution has an acceptable rate-distortion performance penalty regarding the HDR H.264/AVC single-layer coding solution.","PeriodicalId":164858,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126302383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
