Air-conducted speech is currently used for fundamental frequency extraction in noisy environment. However, the results are severely affected by noise. In this paper, additionally bone-conducted speech is combined with air-conducted speech and a novel pitch extraction method is derived. Experiments indicate that the proposed method provides an accurate estimate of fundamental frequency of speech in highly noisy environment.
