Additive & Spectral: Partial Tracking
Partial tracking is the process of detecting single sinusoidal components in a signal and obtaining their individual amplitude, freuquency and phase trajectories.

STFT
A short term fourier transform segments a signal into frames of equal length.

Peak Detection
For every STFT frame, local maxima are calculated in the range of integer multiples of the fundamental frequency.
