Exemplar-based Assignment of Large Missing Audio Parts using String Matching on Tonal Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new approach for assigning audio data in large missing audio parts (from 1 to 16 seconds). Inspired by image inpainting approaches, the proposed method uses the repetitive aspect of music pieces on musical features to recover missing segments via an exemplar-based reconstruction. Tonal features combined with a string matching technique allows locating repeated segments accurately. The evaluation consists in performing on both musician and nonmusician subjects listening tests of randomly reconstructed audio excerpts, and experiments highlight good results in assigning musically relevant parts. The contribution of this paper is twofold: bringing musical features to solve a signal processing problem in the case of large missing audio parts, and successfully applying exemplar-based techniques on musical signals while keeping a musical consistency on audio pieces.

Structural Analysis of Harmonic Features Using String Matching Techniques
We focus on the harmonic content of music pieces, considering Harmonic Pitch Class Profiles as audio features to segment audio pieces. The features are compared using Optimal Transposition Index and correlation adapted measures, ensuring robustness to timbre variations or detuning issues. No other audio feature is used for describing audio pieces. The identification of approximate repetitions i...
متن کاملVideo Subject Inpainting: A Posture-Based Method
Despite recent advances in video inpainting techniques, reconstructing large missing regions of a moving subject while its scale changes remains an elusive goal. In this paper, we have introduced a scale-change invariant method for large missing regions to tackle this problem. Using this framework, first the moving foreground is separated from the background and its scale is equalized. Then, a ...
متن کاملDEA with Missing Data: An Interval Data Assignment Approach
In the classical data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, inputs and outputs are assumed as known variables, and these models cannot deal with unknown amounts of variables directly. In recent years, there are few researches on handling missing data. This paper suggests a new interval based approach to apply missing data, which is the modified version of Kousmanen (2009) approach. First, the prop...
متن کاملImproving Exemplar-based Image Completion methods using Selecting the Optimal Patch
Image completion is one of the subjects in image and video processing which deals with restoration of and filling in damaged regions of images using correct regions. Exemplar-based image completion methods give more pleasant results than pixel-based approaches. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to find the most suitable patch in order to fill in the damaged parts. This patch selection ...
متن کاملGeometrically guided exemplar-based inpainting Désoccultation par l’exemple et reconstruction de la géométrie
Exemplar-based methods have proven their efficiency for the reconstruction of missing parts in a digital image. Texture as well as local geometry are often very well restored by these methods. Some applications, however, require the ability to reconstruct non local geometric features, e.g. long edges. We propose in this paper to endow a particular instance of exemplar-based method with a geomet...
