Tempo Extraction using Beat Histograms

چکیده

This abstract describes the tempo extraction algorithm used for the University of Victoria submission to the MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Exchange) 2005. The algorithm is mostly based on self-similarity rather than onset detection. However, an onset detection component is used to calculate the phase of the dominant periodicities. Multiple frequency bands are calculated using a Discrete Wavelet Transform. Subsequently the envelope of each band is extracted and autocorrelation is used to find the dominant periodicities of the audio signal. These dominant periodicities are accumulated into a Beat Histogram which is used to detect the primary and secondary tempo and their relative strength.

Human Perception and Computer Extraction of Musical Beat Strength

Musical signals exhibit periodic temporal structure that create the sensation of rhythm. In order to model, analyze, and retrieve musical signals it is important to automatically extract rhythmic information. To somewhat simplify the problem, automatic algorithms typically only extract information about the main beat of the signal which can be loosely defined as the regular periodic sequence of...

Content-based Music Information Retrieval System with Automatic DJ Mixing

We will demonstrate our content-based music information retrieval system with automatic DJ mixing, which proposes a new, entertaining way to listen to MIR results. Typical MIR systems present MIR results to the user in a list format, from which users select and play songs. In order to improve this dull user experience, our system not only conducts content-based MIR, but also automatically mixes...

Tempo estimation and beat tracking with adaptive input selection

We present details of our submissions to the Audio Tempo Extraction and Audio Beat Tracking contests within MIREX 2006. The approach we adopt makes use of our existing beat tracking technique with a modified tempo extraction stage, and with the provision of three different onset detection functions to act as input. For each onset detection function we extract potential beat locations and then e...
