Musical Tempo Estimation Using Noise Subspace Projections
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tempo estimation plays a fundamental role in music analysis, especially for the automatic processing of large amounts of musical data. In this paper, a novel idea to enhance the estimation of the tempo in musical pieces is described, based on an harmonic/noise decomposition. This separation of the signal into a deterministic and a stochastic part is performed by projecting the signal onto its noise subspace. Besides, the proposed algorithm shares various elements with other tempo estimation methods. On a database composed of 54 excerpts from many musical genres our algorithm scored a success rate of 96%.

Accurate tempo estimation based on harmonic + noise decomposition
In this paper we present an innovative tempo estimation system that processes acoustic audio signals and does not use any high level musical knowledge. Our proposal relies on a harmonic plus noise decomposition of the audio signal by means of a subspace analysis method. Then, a technique to measure the degree of musical accentuation as a function of time is developed and separately applied to t...
متن کاملTempo Estimation Based on Linear Prediction and Perceptual Modelling
Many applications demand the automatic induction of the tempo of a musical excerpt. The tempo estimation systems follow a general scheme that consists of two main steps: the creation of a feature list and the detection of periodicities on this list. In this study, we propose a new method for the implementation of the first step, along with the addition of a final step that will enhance the temp...
متن کاملAn alternative subspace approach to EEG dipole source localization.
In the present study, we investigate a new approach to electroencephalography (EEG) three-dimensional (3D) dipole source localization by using a non-recursive subspace algorithm called FINES. In estimating source dipole locations, the present approach employs projections onto a subspace spanned by a small set of particular vectors (FINES vector set) in the estimated noise-only subspace instead ...
متن کاملTempo And Beat Estimation Of Musical Signals
Tempo estimation is fundamental in automatic music processing and in many multimedia applications. This paper presents an automatic tempo tracking system that processes audio recordings and determines the beats per minute and temporal beat location. The concept of spectral energy flux is defined and leads to an efficient note onset detector. The algorithm involves three stages: a frontend analy...
متن کاملFurther Steps towards Drum Transcription of Polyphonic Music
This publication presents a new method for the detection and classification of un-pitched percussive instruments in real world musical signals. The derived information is an important pre-requisite for the creation of a musical score, i.e. automatic transcription, and for the automatic extraction of semantic meaningful meta-data, e.g. tempo and musical meter. The proposed method applies Indepen...
