Melody Matching Directly from Audio

by Dominic Mazzoni - Indiana University , 2001
"... In this paper we explore a technique for content-based music retrieval using a continuous pitch contour derived from a recording of the audio query instead of a quantization of the query into discrete notes. Our system determines the pitch for each unit of time in the query and then uses a time-warp ..."

-warping algorithm to match this string of pitches against songs in a database of MIDI files. This technique, while much slower at matching, is usually far more accurate than techniques based on discrete notes. It would be an ideal technique to use to provide the final ranking of candidate results produced by a

On The Detection Of Melody Notes In Polyphonic Audio

by Rui Pedro Paiva, Teresa Mendes, Rui Pedro, Paiva Teresa, Amílcar Cardoso , 2005
"... This paper describes a method for melody detection in polyphonic musical signals. Our approach starts by obtaining a set of pitch candidates for each time frame, with recourse to an auditory model. Trajectories of the most salient pitches are then constructed. Next, note candidates are obtained ..."

Similarity Matching of Continuous Melody Contours for Humming Querying of Melody Databases

by Yongwei Zhu, Mohan Kankanhalli - of Melody Databases,” International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing, USVI , 2002
"... Music query-by-humming is a challenging problem since the humming query inevitably contains much variation and inaccuracy. Many of the previous methods, which adopt note segmentation and string matching with dynamic programming, suffer drastically from the errors in the note segmentation which affec ..."

and efficiently align the query melody with the reference melodies and how to measure the similarity subsequently. Our melody alignment method can reduce the matching candidate to 1.7% with 90% correct alignment rate. The overall retrieval system achieved 80% correct retrieval in the top 10 rank list.

A WWW-based melody retrieval system

by Tomonari Sonoda, Masataka Goto, Yoichi Muraoka - In Proc. of Intl. Computer Music Conf , 1998
"... ABSTRACT: This paper describes a WWW-based melody retrieval system which takes a sung melody as a query and retrieves the song’s title from a music database. In previous works, the pitch information was mainly used as a search clue while the span information was not used effectively, and it was diff ..."

Probabilistic Modelling of Note Events in the Transcription of Monophonic Melodies

by Matti Ryynänen , 2004
"... This thesis concerns the problem of automatic transcription of music and proposes a method for transcribing monophonic melodies. Recently, computational music content analysis has received considerable attention among researchers due to the rapid growth of music databases. In this area of research, ..."

and a musicological model. The note event model is used to represent note candidates in melodies, and it is based on hidden Markov models. The note event model is trained with an acoustic database of singing sequences, but the training can be done for any melodic instrument and for the desired front

MIREX 2014 SYMBOLIC MELODIC SIMILARITY: EXTRACTING SIMILAR MELODIES BASED ON TOP-N COLOSSAL PATTERN MINING

by Yoshiaki Okubo, Makoto Haraguchi
"... In this report, we outline our system for retrieving simi-lar melodies for a given query melody. We formalize our retrieval problem based on frequent colossal pattern min-ing. In our framework, sequences of pitch-differences with length ℓ extracted from a melody collection are regarded as primitive ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
there are in general a lot of those fre-quent patterns, we especially try to extract colossal ones with Top-N cardinality each of which provides us a set of candidate melodies similar to the query with higher simi-larity. 1.

MELODY EXTRACTION FROM POLYPHONIC AUDIO SIGNAL

by Sanghun Park, Seokhwan Jo, Chang D. Yoo
"... This paper considers the proposed algorithm submitted to the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange(MIREX) 2011 “Audio Melody Extraction ” task. The proposed melody pitch extraction algorithm can be divided into three steps: (1) a spectral analysis using variable length window, (2) a pitch ..."

candidate estimation, and (3) a pitch sequence identification. In the first step, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) with variable length window is performed to be robust against dynamic variation of melody line. In the second step, melody pitch candidates of each frame are obtained from weights of a
