A generalized polynomial and sinusoidal model for partial tracking and time stretching

Abstract

In this article, we introduce a new generalized model based on polynomials and sinusoids for partial tracking and time stretching. Nowadays, most partial tracking algorithms are based on the McAulay-Quatieri approach and use polynomials for phase, frequency, and amplitude tracks. Some sinusoidal approaches have also been proved to work in certain conditions. We will present here an unified model using both approaches, which will allow more flexible partial tracking and time stretching
