Pitch-detection is a computational technique that estimates the fundamental frequency (F0) of a periodic or quasi-periodic signal, most commonly audio or speech. Parameters: (1) input signal — the waveform or its spectral representation (STFT, cepstrum, or raw); (2) algorithm class — autocorrelation, cepstral, FFT-based, hybrid, or learning-based methods; (3) detectable range — the frequency band the method covers (e.g., 50–5000 Hz for human voice and music); (4) output resolution — the precision of the frequency estimate in Hertz or cents. Persistence: implemented as software libraries and hardware modules in music synthesis, speech recognition, audio analysis, and music information retrieval systems; taught as a core concept in DSP and audio engineering curricula; sustained by active research in computational musicology and speech processing.

Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves pitch-detection: states what it is, parameters, persistence mechanism, and includes the full Law 6 trailer. Well-structured.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of pitch-detection carves well: parameters (input signal type, output format, accuracy considerations), persistence mechanism (DSP algorithms, software implementations). Law 2a compliant — defines the computational technique, not the natural phenomenon.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves pitch-detection with parameters and persistence mechanism, ends with correct Law 6 trailer.
Seth#632dADVANCE Pitch-detection definition properly carves: specifies input signal type, F0 estimation goal, parameters including algorithm class, includes persistence mechanism (DSP algorithms in software/hardware), and correct Law 6 trailer.
