Optical Music Recognitoin of Early Typographic Prints using Hidden Markov Models

چکیده

Music printed with movable type (typographic music) from the 16th and 17th centuries contains specific graphic features. In this paper, we present a technique and associated experiments for performing optical music recognition on such music prints using Hidden Markov Models (HMM). Our original approach avoids the difficult and unreliable removal of staff lines usually required before processing. The modeling of symbols on the staff is based on low-level simple features. We show that, using our technique, these features are robust enough to obtain good recognition rates even with poor quality images scanned from microfilm of originals. The music content retrieved by the optical recognition process can be put to significant use in, for example, the creation of searchable digital music libraries.

MAP Adaptation to Improve Optical Music Recognition of Early Music Documents Using Hidden Markov Models

Despite steady improvement in optical music recognition (OMR), early documents remain challenging because of the high variability in their contents. In this paper, we present an original approach using maximum a posteriori (MAP) adaptation to improve an OMR tool for early typographic prints dynamically based on hidden Markov models. Taking advantage of the fact that during the normal usage of a...

Book-Adaptive and Book-Dependent Models to Accelerate Digitization of Early Music

Optical music recognition (OMR) enables early music collections to be digitized on a large scale. The workflow for such digitisation projects also includes scanning and preprocessing, but the cost of expert human labour to correct automatic recognition errors dominates the cost of these other two steps. To reduce the number of recognition errors in the OMR process, we present an innovative appl...

Introducing Busy Customer Portfolio Using Hidden Markov Model

Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...

A Hybrid Hmm-rnn Model for Optical Music Recognition

Optical music recognition (OMR) serves as one of the key technologies in Music Information Retrieval by mining symbolic knowledge directly from images of scores. A fullfledged OMR system encompasses both image recognition and music interpretation to convert image data to symbolic representations. This process has proved to be remarkably challenging, so the state-of-the-art OMR systems still lea...
