Building a System for Writer Identification on Handwritten Music Scores
نویسنده
چکیده
17th and 18th century music scores were copied and distributed in a manual way. Music historians are interested in how the compositions were distributed or in other words, who copied the compositions when and where. Such information may also help to determine the composer when a piece of unknown origin is found. In this paper, we present ongoing work on the development of a software system to analyse such documents automatically and to aid the musicologists in their task to register handwritten music scores. In particular, we focus on the application and adaptation of image processing methods to separate music symbols for the identification task from irrelevant elements.

CVC-MUSCIMA: A Database of Handwritten Music Score Images for Writer Identification and Staff Removal
The analysis of music scores has been an active research field in the last decades. However, there are no public available databases of handwritten music scores for the research community. In this paper we present the CVC-MUSCIMA database of handwritten music score images. It consists of 1,000 music sheets written by 50 different musicians. The dataset has been especially designed for writer id...
متن کاملOffline Language-free Writer Identification based on Speeded-up Robust Features
This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...
متن کاملAutomatic handwriting recognition and writer matching on anthrax-related handwritten mail
A handwriting recognition technique and a handwriting identification technique were combined and applied on anthrax-related handwritten mail. HWAI (Handwritten Address Interpretation) system interprets the address on the anthrax-related letters. The HWAI process can be modified to provide specific alphabet images which can then be used for writer identification. Micro-level feature values from ...
متن کاملPrimitive Segmentation in Old Handwritten Music Scores
Optical Music Recognition consists in the identification of music information from images of scores. In this paper, we propose a method for the early stages of the recognition: segmentation of staff lines and graphical primitives in handwritten scores. After introducing our work with modern musical scores (where projections and Hough Transform are effectively used), an approach to deal with anc...
متن کاملA Set of Novel Features for Writer Identification
A system for writer identification is described in this paper. It first segments a given page of handwritten text into individual lines and then extracts a set of features from each line. These features are subsequently used in a k-nearest-neighbor classifier that compares the feature vector extracted from a given input text to a number of prototype vectors coming from writers with known identi...
