Collecting Ground Truth Annotations for Drum Detection in Polyphonic Music
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to train and test algorithms that can automatically detect drum events in polyphonic music, ground truth data is needed. This paper describes a setup used for gathering manual annotations for 49 real-world music fragments containing different drum event types. Apart from the drum events, the beat was also annotated. The annotators were experienced drummers or percussionists. This paper is primarily aimed towards other drum detection researchers, but might also be of interest to others dealing with automatic music analysis, manual annotation and data gathering. Its purpose is threefold: providing annotation data for algorithm training and evaluation, describing a practical way of setting up a drum annotation task, and reporting issues that came up during the annotation sessions while at the same time providing some thoughts on important points that could be taken into account when setting up similar tasks in the future.

On Drum Playing Technique Detection in Polyphonic Mixtures
In this paper, the problem of drum playing technique detection in polyphonic mixtures of music is addressed. We focus on the identification of 4 rudimentary techniques: strike, buzz roll, flam, and drag. The specifics and the challenges of this task are being discussed, and different sets of features are compared, including various features extracted from NMF-based activation functions, as well...
متن کاملSynthesized Polyphonic Music Database with Verifiable Ground Truth for Multiple F0 Estimation
To study and to evaluate a multiple F0 estimation algorithm, a polyphonic database with verifiable ground truth is necessary. Real recordings with manual annotation as ground truth are often used for evaluation. However, ambiguities arise during manual annotation, which are often set up by subjective judgements. Therefore, in order to have access to verifiable ground truth, we propose a systema...

متن کاملEvaluation of Multiple-F0 Estimation and Tracking Systems
Multi-pitch estimation of sources in music is an ongoing research area that has a wealth of applications in music information retrieval systems. This paper presents the systematic evaluations of over a dozen competing methods and algorithms for extracting the fundamental frequencies of pitched sound sources in polyphonic music. The evaluations were carried out as part of the Music Information R...
