The maximum-based description is a linear and simple parametrization method of F0 contours. An F0 maximum is characterized by four parameters: its position, its height, its left and its right slope. An automatic parametrization algorithm was developed. A perceptual evaluation was carried out for German and for English. The perceptual equality between original and parametrized contours was confirmed.
