We describe a Task B submission for the 1st DAFx Parameter Estimation Challenge. A matching-pursuit anchor stage seeds a multi-view subband autoregressive (AR) pole harvester on the raw IR and its first two finite differences; since linear filtering preserves pole locations while changing residues, the three views expose complementary subsets of the same pole set. Bands in which the AR order saturates are recursively split, and any remaining under-resolved region is completed from an IR-derived saturation indicator. Gains are assigned by a global ridge least-squares (LS) fit in the damped-biquad atom convention. The pipeline uses only the unnormalized IR; so it does not use plate parameters, analytical modal-frequency or decay laws, .wav files, or Task A information.
