Structural analysis of musical signals via pattern matching
نویسنده
چکیده
A musical piece typically has repetitive structures. Analysis of this structure can be used for music indexing, thumbnailing or segmentation. The research described here aims at automatically analyzing the repetitive structure of musical signals. First, we detect the repetition of each segment in a piece using dynamic programming. Second, we summarize this repetition information and infer the structure based on some heuristic rules. The performance of our approach is demonstrated visually using figures for qualitative evaluation, and by two structural similarity measures for quantitative evaluation. The experimental results using a corpus of Beatles’ songs show that automatic structural analysis of music is possible.

Pattern Induction and Matching in Music Signals
This paper discusses techniques for pattern induction and matching in musical audio. At all levels of music harmony, melody, rhythm, and instrumentation the temporal sequence of events can be subdivided into shorter patterns that are sometimes repeated and transformed. Methods are described for extracting such patterns from musical audio signals (pattern induction) and computationally feasible ...
متن کاملKnowledge and Learning Based Segmentation and Recognition of Rhythm Using Fuzzy-Prolog
This paper introduces an architecture for rhythm recognition and comparative analysis. A fuzzy system is used to rate segmentation and structural assignment produced by combinatorial pattern-matching. The fuzzy system can be trained by examples. It provides fault tolerant, context sensitive and adaptive recognition of musical rhythm with a description of temporal and structural deviations.
متن کاملAutomated Analysis of Musical Structure
Listening to music and perceiving its structure is a fairly easy task for humans, even for listeners without formal musical training. For example, we can notice changes of notes, chords and keys, though we might not be able to name them (segmentation based on tonality and harmonic analysis); we can parse a musical piece into phrases or sections (segmentation based on recurrent structural analys...
متن کاملDesign and Optimization of Neuro-Fuzzy-Based Recognition of Musical Rhythm Patterns
The task of recognizing patterns and assigning rhythmic structure to unquantized musical input is a fundamental one for interactive musical systems and for searching musical databases since melody is based on rhythm. We use a combination of combinatorial pattern matching and structural interpretation with a match quality rating by a neuro-fuzzy system that incorporates musical knowledge and ope...
متن کاملA Review on Signal Decomposition Techniques
Analysis of audio and musical information signals deals with the decomposition into atoms. This subject is most interesting and useful for the researchers who want to invent the inherent properties of the signal under decomposition and to construct a new version of it. Many algorithms have been proposed for the decomposition of audio and musical content and methodologies have been demonstrated ...
